Stuck in 'Drive' engine off

[NAZ4me]

Got my Ranger XD1500 back from the service dept last month with the updated snow plow hydraulics. When I parked it in my garage I tested the up/down and angle features and all was well.
Apparently, I then shut it off without moving it from Drive to Park... large brain fart.
Now I can't get it to start because it's in Drive and I cannot move the shift lever. It's not in 4WD, but the rear axle is locked and I can't unlock it. Jacked up the rear end hoping I could rotate the wheels and move the shift lever... nope.
100% bonehead move on my part, but does anybody have suggestions?
I'll call Polaris tomorrow to see if they have a solution.

I've done that before, but it went right into park when I realized it the next time I went to start it. One suggestion, try putting it into neutral, then attempt to put it into park. Good luck!

I shut mine off in gear once, I never knew it until I tried to start it the next time I went to drive it. All I did was turn the key on and push on the brake pedal to get it to go back into park. Once in park I could start it.

Since they replaced the top of the gear shift handle with the snowplow 'knob', I figured out it's in Park. No, I haven't driven it much since I bought it.
Anyway, the center dash is working. Radio, gauges, etc. The left side of the dash is dead so I'm guessing either a fuse blew or when they wired in the hydraulic controller, that caused this issue. Burnt fuse hunt in the morning.
