Use manual override button next to the shifter. Ignition key has to be in on position.

your car should have a "Shiftlock override" button next to the shifter...i'm not sure if your car is any different than a 98 s70 however. If so, press this, with your foot on the brake as normal, and see if you have any luck.

I may be wrong, but I believe your shift lock override button is under that little rectangle just below the "D" symbol. Get a small slot screwdriver and pry that off; it should be under there. A lot of cars don't have them as handy as the 1st gen 70 series Volvo. I am just going off the small picture, use common sense and don't pry on it if it is not made to move :)
