The position that that shift rod is in is not unusual. That's pretty close to where it would be when you are in second gear. The shaft does rotate and move forward and back when you are shifting. The unusual part is that it is stuck in that position. I don't think I'd suspect anything internal to the transmission. The rod is likely either getting jammed at the shifter shaft coupling (dogbone) or inside the shaft housing on the ignition lockout mechanism. There is a little trigger in there that engages the shaft so that it can't be moved unless there is a key in the ignition, it also won't let you remove the key unless the shifter is in gear. If you reach a finger inside the opening in the shifter housing and toward the rear, you can feel to see if the mechanism is jammed. Also check to see that your dogbone is in good shape and not getting caught on the steering rack.
