First check the shifter cable, have someone move lever through range and watch shifter lever on trans.
It could be the cable is binding or a bracket is loose.
Worst case would be the parking "pawl" is worn, it is a small "hook" inside trans that locks trans in park. It could be worn or cracked.
These, however, rarely go bad unless you were to shift in park when moving.
Also the button, which you use to shift into park has a plastic piece that can wear or break. You would have to remove the shift console to repair.
