If the wheel is turned all the way, I have seen it were the key won't turn, but if the key turns it isn't your parking job.
Usually there is a shift interlock slot where a key goes in to release the brake interlock. *YOu need to have a foot on the brake to get out of park. This is the first thing to check. No idea where it is in a mini but it often looks like a slot for a key.

If memory serves, there is an electromagnetic shift lever lock with a fuse for that system. There is also a cable that runs from the shift mechanism up to the key cylinder. I believe that if it breaks, either the key won't turn, and/or the shift lever won't move.
