Fords are notorious for having weird interconnected problems.  If the brake 
pedal won't work and the trany won't come out of park, with the key on, try 
"rocking" the car (push/shove it forward, let go, push/shove it forward, and 
then go around to the front bumper and do the same, pushing/shoving 
backwards a couple of times) and then try to get it out of park again.
