car wont shift out of gear whenever the temperature outside is below 0?

it is an automatic with the shift on the floor. It normally shifts easily even when it's single digit temperature but once the temp is below 0 when I start it in the morning the gear shift will not move. It takes more than 1/2 an hour of warming it up before it will shift out of park. Does it sound like something is wrong or is this normal
