Exporting private key to DER and Base64

It seems I am unable to export the private key of a server certificate to
either DER and Base 64 since the options to choose are greyed out. The only
choice is the PFX format which is not feasable.

How do I get these options to be available.

AFAIK, you can only export public key cert to DER/Base64/P7B format.
Cert with private key must go with pfx format
