It sounds like that stupid switch that sits on the brake pedal may be going bad.

its probably the shift interlock solenoid. do you hear a click noise when you press on the brake pedal?

Yes, probably the brake light switch. The plunger on the switch may have deteriorated/broken off.

See this link for this guy's cheap fix:

You can always replace it too.

On the shift lever console you may find a little lid: if you remove it you can use a pin to manually override the blocking of the shift lever in P. This override procedure is also described in the owner's manual.
