Unhappy My Civic wont go in gear!

I have a 93 coupe dx w/an auto tranny and if i start it and press the break it wont come out of park. It just started doing this and the only way is to put the key in the hole by the shifter and unlock it then throw it in netrual and start it. But when ever i put it in park it locks up again and i have to put the key in it again. If any one knows what is wrong and how to fix this problem please let me know cause its ghetto to be doing all that just to pull out. Thanks.

there is a small selonoid mounted on the shifter that releases the shifter when the brake pedal is depressed. you have to pull the center console to check the connection to it(ie. plug) i have seen them come loose and cause what you are describing. if its not the connection then you need a new selonoid. hope that helps
