Came out of the doctors this afternoon and the gear selector would not go into any gear. It felt as though there was no pressure on the release button. The only way I could get it in to gear was a strong push.
Any Ideas.

Release button broken, yours is not the first.
 
Undo the little screw at the front of the knob and remove the knob. This will then allow you to push the catch easily and get you out of trouble. Then hunt on eBay or wreckers for a new knob.
 
May I hijack this thread as I may have a problem with a similar solution.
My gear selector doesn't require the brake to be used to shift out of park. I assume this means the catch is broken.
Also, when shifting it's fairly stiff, and doesn't have any feedback that it's in a certain position.

But it works fine, just feels weird to use. Would this require a new knob also?

If it's a P38 UK spec, there is no brake interlock for the gear shift.
