    Will the shifter move to PARK, then pull the key out?

    On the shifter plate is there a small inconspicuous slit a little bit larger than the size of the head of a flat-head screwdriver. I'm thinking probably so, and if so, I think you need to stick a screwdriver in there and it will "unlock" and allow you to shift it back into park.

    yeah, look around the shifter for a "shift lock"... when located you can move it to Park and retrieve your key.

    To is a preposition which begins a prepositional phrase or an infinitive.

    Too is an adverb meaning "excessively" or "also."

    Two is a number. Many other words in English which reflect the number two are spelled with tw: twin, twice, between, tweezers, etc.

    Examples: We went to a baseball game. (preposition)

    We like to watch a good ball game. (infinitive)

    We ate too much. (meaning "excessively")

    I like baseball, too. (meaning "also")

    Six divided by three is two. (number)

    They own two Brittany spaniels. (number)

    What year the mercedes? As everyone knows, when you park a Mercedes, you let off of the brakes and the car rolls about a half of foot. If your car is not going into proper gear or Park, have a couple of people sit in front of the car to move it back the half of foot to unlock the transmission. This should work.

    Let me know
