stuck in park when shifter is in the neutral position

okay so i just got a 91 turbo leggy and the guy i bought it from had it sitting for two years but claims to have started it up every now and again to keep everything moving.
Now i had this car running and driving around when i bought it but when i parked it in the driveway the car is wouldn't start anymore but would turn over. Now i always had to put the car into neutral to get the car started because it would not start in the park gear. I would have to push the override button on the base of the shifter to move the shifter from park to neutral. Now i can still do that but the car just turns over and wont start and the transmission stays in park even though the shifter is in the neutral position.
How do i know that? Well im trying to shift the car into neutral so i can roll the car out of the way of my RS but when i push on the car you can feel the transmission preventing the car from rolling.
Any ideas? Most people say its that shifter solenoid but i can hear the click from under the dash when i press the button on the shifter (not the black button on the base of the shifter) (That one doesn't make any noise)
