Default Alternator died!!!

My alternator went out this morning and now my shifter is locked. I found out that the shifter locks b/c of the dead alternator by reading some other posts here, but not really sure how to move the shifter to N so that I can push the car back into the driveway. Could someone tell me please?

Thanks so much!
