My '93 Corolla was working fine, I parked and when I came back it
started fine but you cannot shift the selector out of park. Any tips?

It is possible that the brake light switch is not working properly or out of
adjustment. Make sure that the floor mats are not keeping the brake pedal
from being depressed fully.

In the meantime, look at the shift console for a small rectangle cover. Pop
the cover off with a screwdriver and push the tip of the screwdriver into
the opening to shift out of park.

There is a solonoid that near the gear shift that allows the car to go
into gear. This gear shift is activated by a switch that is closed by
stepping on the brakes. Either the switch or the solonoid may be bad.
One thing you can do is make sure your brake lights work.

You didn't park on a hill did you? Tension on the pin that locks the
transmission to keep the car from rolling might be preventing it from
disengaging.
