Besides your button possibly being jammed, the problem might be your stop light switch which is mounted on the brake pedal bracket. It sends a signal to the ecu that the brakes have been applied in order to allow shifting of the lever.

In the early models you had to use a small object, say a flat blade screwdriver and press down really hard on the shift lock release if the brake light circuit solenoid doesn't release it automatically.
