According to a few of the shows, the Doctor's TARDIS is one of the
very few that can't change form at will, simply because it's broken.
In a later Peter Davison episode, the Master gives his TARDIS the form
of a Concorde.  Also, in "Arc of Infinity", the Doctor says he
can't find Omega, the nasty antimatter timelord, because he doesn't
know what form Omega's made his TARDIS.  Apparently, the TARDIS is
in very bad shape: a quarter of the rooms are gone, the "temporal
grace" circuit, which made it impossible to shoot a gun inside the
TARDIS, is broken, and the Doctor has to hit it to make it dematerialize.
