Check Fluid Level..

Check Transmission Fluid Level.

Parking brake is by means of a pin dropping into a cog and will not need any fluid or pressure in the transmission to operate.

I recently had the "shift lever" and bushings replaced on the transmission. I was told that it wasn't going to be long before it broke and left me stuck in park as you are describing. Have a look into that.
