    I was trying to jumpstart a girl's late model Civic(left her lights on all
    day),don't know exactly what year Civic,but I could not get the shift lever
    out of Park,even with my foot on the brake,and key in ignition.(wanted to
    push it out to where I could get close enough)
    After getting another car to move,I was able to get my car close enought to
    jump it,and it started immediately.

    Is there some way to bypass that safety interlock?
    I didn't have any access to the owner's manual(her glove box was FULL of
    girl junk!).

    Without juice, the brake/shifter interlock won't function.
    Near the shifter there should be a whole (probably with a plug in it) that
    you push the key into to manually unlock the shifter.
