Default 2001 Discovery Shift Lock Override? Urgent!

I think my break switch is out, but I’m stuck parked at a business right now, and just need to get the car home. Where is the shift lock override on a 2001 Discovery?
My car starts, but the break lights aren’t on. It’s stuck in park.

Gently pull the bezel surrounding the shift lever straight upwards. At the base of the lever, on the left hand side, is a pin that you can push in to release the shift lock.
Check the fuse for the brake lights.
