There is a Solenoid that is supposed to prevent you from doing this. It's probly broken, but if you try hard enough, you can force it out anyway (did this on my old 96 GL... whoops  ).
The solenoid on my old Accord broke not too long before I junked it... I had to use the mechanical bypass to shift out of park.
Not all cars do this... My old Grand Prix and Monte SS had a mechanical ignition interlock (both floor shift), while my old Tercel had no interlock at all.
