I've applied my brake several times to get my 2001 acura mdx out of park. The gear shift is stuck. Help.?

My gear shift wont get out of park. I keep applying the brake, but nothing. It wont move out of park. Im not on an incline or anything. And where is the shift lock release on a 2001 acura mdx?|||call a radio program called "car talk", they seem to know a lot of things about cars, and all kinds.|||check your brake light switch, it might be connected to a solenoid that allows the gear selector to release.
