Default 2002 Durango somtimes hard to shift out if park

It doesn't matter if I am parked on a level surface,or a hill with the parking brake on.Every once in a while it has a hard time shifting out of park.Eventually it does shift into gear if I keep playing with the shift lever.Any ideas?

it might just be out of adjustment.

how much snow do you have there? I was hitting snow banks and drifts on the weekend and then I couldnt move the gearshifter. I found that there was soo much snow compacted in there that it wouldnt let it move. but I doubt thats your problem.

I would just go down there and lube everything up.
