Can you shift out of park if you don't start the engine ?
Often times the brake light switch is faulty or the solenoid that locks the shifter. Sometimes the shifter can be moved if the key lock is turned but not to the on position.

SOURCE: parking brake light stays on

If it's just the light that stays on, often that's a sign that your brake fluid is low.

No, that's wrong. The setup on the Sonata doesn't normally require messing with the shift lock release at all. I had the same problem tonight for the first time after owning the car for a year and a half, that's why I looked up this issue.

2006 Hyundai Sonata has intermittent no crank, no start in park. It will only start in neutral?

There are a few ideas here. The car shouldn't start in neutral, it should only start in Park and with foot on the brake. The are a number of sensors, switches and modules that make this happen. Take it to the dealership.

Gear shift wont go into park or reverse on 2006 sonata

My 2009 Sonata had the same problem, my wife returned home from taking our child to school and was unable to shift into reverse or park, also unable to remove her keys from the ignition when she finally left the car parked in neutral.

Solution: Replaced the faulty BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH actuated by depressing the brake pedal, even though the brake lights still functioned the switch controls numerous functions. Parts total $20.00 Dealer's diagnostic fee: $110.00... yes it still hurts, but it's better than the torque converter going out as a previous poster had mentioned.

The gearshift on my 2005 hyundai sonata gearshift is locked. where is the release button?

The release is located inside of the shifter housing. It can be accessed through a small hole, possibly covered with a small plastic cover, near the shifter. Insert punch into hole, depress release and shift out of park.
