Toyota Echo 2001 Does Not Shift

[wm.m.thompson]

I have a Toyota Echo that I think needs a new starter and alternator. But here is the issue now. It is now parked on the side of the road outside my house. So I decided to move it into the garage. But here is the deal. I could not shift into neutral. It is as if the shifter is locked. Please help.

I put my key into the ignition and turn it. That, I think should free up the stick shift, but it does not.
