It starts fine but I can't get it from park into reverse or drive. It is "stuck."

Check if the brake lights are working. If not, the interlock system would prevent the gearshift from being moved out of park.

You can use the override by inserting a key into the slot on the gear shift console but please bear in mind that if the brake lights are not working, it is a safety hazard.
