Lots of non-American cars do that as a safety precaution so you don't throw the car into reverse while you're driving :p On my GTI the reverse is next to 1st gear and you have to push down on the entire shifter to slot it up there.

My sisters 98 Jetta is right below 1st gear. You push it down and into the same position.
