There is the remote possibility that your truck is parked "in a bind" as we say here in the south. If you are parked on a hill etc. sometime the force against the parking mechanism can jam. From my experience do not apply force to the shifter, instead move the truck in the opposite direction of the hill etc. by pulling or pushing ever so slightly with another vehicle and try pulling shifter out of park. Hopefully this will help barring mechanical failure.

I had the same problem last year
Mine was parked on a hill facing down with the wheels cut sharp toward the hill. I just cranked it up and worked the steering wheel and shifter for a while and it eventually broke free. I had a buddy that actually jacked his up when his did the same thing as mine just to straighten the wheels (I don't know why that helped) but his was a chevy! haha! Oh by the way, I do have a 1500 Chevy but that's cause I got a deal on it from my brother! FORD 4 LIFE!!!
