2004 Honda Civic: car horn stuck on

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help! I tried searching around the forum but I didn't seem to find the info I needed.
Here's my info:
Year of vehicle: 2004
Make: Honda
Model: Civic Hybrid
engine: 4 cylinder engine 82 cu inches displacement
mileage: 22,000 miles
And here's my problem:
I had a run in with a wall today (at low speeds fortunately) and the airbags went off. The horn immediately started blaring. I turned off the car (horn still blaring) and removed the "Horn, Stop" fuse from the underhood fusebox. The horn stopped. Unfortunately after removing the fuse I wasn't able to get out of park! I can turn the engine on, but I simply can't depress the button on the shifter to shift into drive! Upon reinserting the fuse, the horn starts blaring again but I am able to shift out of park.
I would like to be able to drive the car to a dealer without the horn driving everyone around me crazy. What can I do to disable the horn without disabling my ability to drive? From the scant bits I've been able to understand searching around on the internet I believe I need to unplug the horn at the horn itself, yes? Unfortunately I don't know anything about cars and I really don't know where under the hood the horn is located or even what it looks like. If anyone can help me with this (with detailed instructions on where to find the horn or what it looks like) or point me in the direction of a useful thread, I'll be incredibly grateful!!
Thanks!

It's a guess but here's a pic of one (round black item with one wire) shown with the bumper off. If that looks close to items in your car look there and listen for it.
I can't be sure whether you should be driving this car at all after airbags have deployed except to just move it to a better spot perhaps,

Thanks for the help Tom! Unfortunately the picture doesn't seem to be working, would you try reloading it?

Sorry - that was just a generic pic I found out there on the web - not exactly or necessarily your specific year and model Honda. It probably was restricted and copyrighted?? The bumper was off and it showed the black disc that the horn looks like down by the lower part of radiator near the bottom of the washer fluid bottle. Looking at car from from the front it would be lower right side and the pic I happened on was a car being worked on without the bumper or you wouldn't see it.
May need to just let it make noise for a second at a time and go hunting in the general area. Wouldn't be surprised if you had to remove something else just to unplug it,
