If you lift the gaiter there is a manual release lever ... yellow in colour.. on the left hand side of the selector.

A new brake light switch cured mine when I had the same problem. It lives above the brake pedal.

Which is how it should work, however when the brake light swich fails, you can end up really popular with those behind you in the queue at the ligts when you can't get your car out of Park!  ;)

When you have the cover out of the way to move the interlock - owners manual has a description - check the microswitch that is operated by the selector release trigger.
If it has high resistance contacts it will prevent the solenoid from releasing the interlock.

The same switch is used in a Vectra auto if you are scrapyard hunting.
