Shifter stuck in drive

Problem just started last night. I pulled in my driveway and tried to shift the truck to park and the shifter would not move. After jiggling it I was able to shift to 1st and then to park. This morning it worked fine, but when I parked at work the same thing happened.

It doesn't happen every time I park. I looked at the linkages under the truck and they all seem to move freely. Is there something in the column I need to adjust?

Truck is a 1990 f250 with a c6 and tilt wheel. Thanks.

if it tries it again... mess with your key too... just a thought.... or next time it does it check.. to see if you can move your linkage
