Could be the brake switch or the lock solenoid among other things. You could try moving the shifter before you turn the key switch to the on position. The brake pedal sends a signal to the shift lock solenoid to unlock it. That circuit would need to be checked.

i believe the cable you are you refereeing to is for the gear shift it purpose is not allow key to be removed if the car not in park and also prevents shifting out park without ignition in on postion

If your shift lever is on the stirring colum, there is a button in the colum itself directly underneath the lever that usually retracts whrn you press the breaks, but in this case it isn;t. Simply remove the right portion of the stirring colum and press the button and put in gear while holding it that is a quick solution on putting it in gear but it is not a permenent fix.
