There is a way to get it out of Park when in Limp Mode:
There is a plastic white switch just "south" of the gear selector, and it has to be pushed in to move the selector
when engine is running and the brake pedal is pressed.
To reach it is a bit difficult. There are two ways
There is a small hole under the rubber in your can holder, push a long thin screwdriver in there to reach the switch.
Otherwise remove the plastic gear selector and you can reach it that way. Probably the easiest way.
