If its automatic driving with one or two feet will not matter. As for dying while driving there is a few things to check. Air filter has it been changed recently? Fuel filter? And fuel pump. Your description of less mileage sounds like air filter first. If its severely dirty change it and see how it goes first.

It is ignition related,check the ecm for trouble codes,then I would do a complete tune-up and if that doen't fix it then check the crank sensor which is what it sounds like anyway but it's cheaper to do a tune-up first just incase

Is there a way I can get it out of the park gear?

this may help:

some cars may have interlock with the brake switch to the shift lever inter-lock. have someone step on the brake, if brake light won't come on, suspect the brake switch is preventing the shift.

go to an auto parts store that will give Free trouble code scan

I just had my 92 mazda protege thru aircare and now the charging system warning light has come on. Do I have an alternator problem or did they just run the battery down when doing the emmission testing?

Any car should easily recharge the battery after 20 minutes of driving. If your light stays on you could have a bad battery or alternator or both. Most part supply stores can check your system for free. One or the other being bad will wreck the other after just a few days, so I wouldn't wait to find out for sure.
