2000 S430, 2000 S500 Both Brilliant Silver!
Maybe a replacement key is needed?

No idea if it will help on the Mercedes, but on other cars, my first try is to hold the key in the start position and try to move the shift lever around...

You have to make sure the steering wheel is locked and as Wally stated jiggle the shifter around a bit.
