It happens, if you can't get it to come free by pulling on the shifter, remove the access panel over the shifter, remove the shift handle from the top of the trans and use leverage to free up the linkage. Use a flashlight to see if the linkage bars are all lined up as they would be in neutral, if not manually move the odd one to meet the others.
From what I can figure the little bearings that move back and forth when the gears are shifted, and prevent the wrong one from engaging while you are engaging another can sometimes get stuck half way and freeze up the linkage. Many people can free it up by wiggling and pulling on the shifter, but there are times when it's really stuck and some better leverage is needed.

What would cause your shifter to become loose and not lock into any gear on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler?
It may just be a screw came loose underneath your gear shifter. That is what happened to me. Just slide the stuff up to the top of your gear shifter and look underneath. If one of the bolts is udone, just simple put it back on.
