Banging on it isn't worth the effort.
Get some needle nosed pliers.
On the right top of the lock are two safety bolts with rounded off heads. Take the pliers and loosen them like 1/4 turn. They aren't tight. I was shocked at how easily they turned. The rest you can do with your fingers.
The lock falls out. Push the mechanism all the way down. It clicks. Car starts.
Put the lock back and finger tighten the bolts so you can get home.

This doesn't usually work as it isn't the locking bolt that depresses the interlock switches. It's a notched wheel attached to the servo drive gear.
Glad it worked for you, but it must have been just barely out of position to press the micro switches and jostling it about happened to move the gear a little to press the switches.
Most aren't that lucky lol.
