Shift into neutral without power

My 2012 XJL recently had a dead battery and also couldn't be jump started. The tow truck driver had a hard time getting it out of my garage because we couldn't figure out a way to shift the car into neutral without the car being powered on.
Is there a way to shift it into neutral without any power?

That's almost exactly what happened to my car. One AAA and 2 Jag roadside assistance guys came out and couldn't jump start the car. A flatbed wouldn't work because we couldn't get it out of my garage. It finally took a resourceful tow truck guy with a fork like lift for the front wheel and a dolly for the back wheels to get the car to the dealer.
I tried looking up in the manual and didn't find anything and the dealer, the roadside assistance rep on the phone, nor the tow truck guys knew how to shift it into neutral.
I'll have to check it out in the XJL to see if there is a similar lever in the console.
Thanks.

Let me know mate if this works for the XJ, since the article describes the procedure for an XF. Cheers!

Thanks for responding re battery. And, did you lock the automobile when you drove it the night before? I'm wondering if it's not locked if that might cause a battery drain. I noticed shortly after getting my XJL and when I didn't lock it a reminder would appear saying the battery is low--that reminder might have been just for the key fob but not sure.
