I'm no expert by far but unless whatever broke is on the inside you should just be able to take it out of gear moving the shift tower. I just recently changed cables on mine( by the way thats usually what breaks and leaves you stuck in gear) and I had no problem moving thru the gears by hand with the cables off.
Your shift tower is on the one that moves it up & down(5th to R) the other one moves it side to side(drivers side of car towards pass side).If your shifter is moving but you're still stuck in gear its your cables. If your shifter is feeling hung (inside the car that is),I have no Idea, but I'd pop the cables out and try to move the tranny so that you can tell which it is. By the way there are 2 connections on the tranny, one has your tower on it, If you get them both vertical your in neutral. HTH!
