check e/parking brake is off -problem can be a few reasons this forum explains most https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w221/221407-first-problem-my-08-s63-any-s550-had.html

Check you brake stop switch located behind the brake pedal

check for loose connections or wire grounding out near the park brake switch
as it should be air controlled spring brakes for the park brakes check for a problem air switch in the park brake air lines

With most cars that use keys, the key must be turned to unlock the shifter and steering column.

It can be shift mechanism issue or its faulty worn out gears.On some cases like these its also seen that problem relates to transmission rebuilt.But that is rare,if these problem is suddenly occurred without any previous problem.To troubleshoot these issue,i suggest you to refer the solved helplinks with appropriate solutions.-----------Click the link below:-----

Step on the brake while shifting out of park

Try checking the brake light sending unit. Are your brake lights even working. Many newer vehincles will not shift out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed. However, a faulty sendind unit located on the pedal itself can keep you from moving anywhere. Just check to see if your brake lights are working to know if the sending unit is working.

Some times you could get them out of park by pounding on the top of the shifter while moving it out of park at the same time. You need a new shifter assembly. If it won't come out of park, they can drag it onto a flatbed.
