Your car has two locks on the shift lever. One is the button on the handle that you depress to shift gears. This keeps you from accidentally bumping the lever out of drive and into, say, reverse. The other lock engages when you put the car in park. It is supposed to disengage when you depress the brake pedal. This is to prevent you from putting the car into drive or reverse with your foot off the brake, which would result in the car "surging" forward or backwards as soon as it's in gear.
Unfortunately, the second lock (the "Park" lock) is prone to malfunction on the 98 intrigues. It will sometimes fail to disengage when you put your foot on the brake pedal. I recommend seeing a mechanic to have the problem fixed. On my intrigue, I tried to "wrestle" it out of park and broke both of the shift locks in the process. Now it can freely be shifted through the gears without having to press the brakes or the button on the handle.
