:) The wife's car is hard to get out of park when parked on a very slight slope, nose up.  Anyone have an idea why, and a solution?  All other functions seem to be okay.

Not Tarus specific, but I've had a couple where the parking pawl was burred up, and would stick in the slot in the drum.

I had that prob on my 97 T-Bird...... but it got so bad that the wife couldn't get the car out of park at all. Turned out to be the interlock that keeps you from taking the key out when the car is not in park.
I just unhooked the interlock cable from the shifter and is been fine sence

Good Luck

Don't know about Fords, but on GM cars there's a switch combined with the brakelight switch.  It's to keep you from putting the car in gear without applying the brake first.  If the switch is bad you can't put it in gear.  

My 2 cents.

Either the shift interlock mechanism is going bad or the shift tube itself may be going bad--common problem on Fords.

Have you tried setting the parking brake before you put it in park?
