Could be the shift interlock system is sticking. There is an actuator mounted at the base of the steering column that determines when the brake pedal is depressed and releases the gear selector. You can try spraying a lot of lubricant on the shift linkage underneath and hopes it frees up otherwise you may have to have a mechanic look at the actuator. Other possibility is the brake pedal position sensor. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Brake-Pedal-Position-Sensor/2007-Chevrolet-Impala/_/N-jpl7tZ8koz6?itemIdentifier=294719_0_0_
Very likely that it has developed a wiring problem. GM has a service bulletin about this problem Bulletin No.: 08-07-30-007B . Some cars have a means of manually releasing shifter . That information may be in your owners manual. This is called a "shift interlock" system.
