Just turn the key to the first position to unlock the wheels, release the e-brake, put the little puppy in neutral and enjoy.
It is not recommended that you tow a vehicle with its drive wheels on the ground in neutral. If you do so, you are spinning the transmission at a high rate of speed without the benefit of having the gear oil for lubrication on the gears. You should always tow a vehicle by its drive wheels, many cars have had damaged transmissions from this procedure. Ask a tow truck operator about the proper procedure for towing a vehicle, especially long distances at fairly high rates of speed.
