Default Car won't shift in to Park easily

I did a search and found a guy on here who had the same problem, but when I try and put my car in to park, I have to give it a good push forward, otherwise I can't remove the key. I know there's a magic nut somewhere on the tranny that has to be adjusted. Any help (photos) would be appreciated.

shift linkage rod not adjusted must of gotten into a accident or hit something bumpy most likely its because your transmission mount is blown and the whole tranny is tilted to 1 side. get it fix quick your Diff is gonna be the next thign going out.

Uh oh... i have the same problem even after replacing the transmission mount. If it's not the trans mount, what could it be?
