Sometimes when I stop my car and put in neutral or park, the shifter hangs up and won't move (to reverse or anything else for that matter) when the foot brake is depressed. Does anyone know what the problem is?

None anymore
When this happens, does the brake indicator light beside the park or neutral position turn off when you press the brake? If not, you may have a faulty brake light switch.

I think that the light goes off. I'll have to check next time it happens. It happened today, but I hadn't yet read your post. Thanks for your reply.
