Mercury Mystique Brake light switch Problem

My car is stuck in park. I got my manual out and It is useless to me. It doesn't say what type of screwdriver or what size. I took two different flat head sizes and could not connect to anything inside the square hole on the right side of the console. Do you have any suggestions, ideas, or know how to fix it?

Don't laugh, but are the brake lights working? Power to the park lock solenoid is supplied through the brake light switch.
