First things first; it's a bad idea to warm up your car the way you are, it's hard on the engine and the oil. You're far better off simply starting the engine, clicking on your seatbelt, checking your mirrors, putting it in gear and gently driving off. By doing this you minimize the amout of time the engine is running while cold and dramatically reduce the oil contamination which results from extended idling, especially when the engine is cold.

 

As noted in the owner's manual:

Lockout Prevention
If you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, lockout prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver’s
door. With any door open and the
key in the ignition switch, locking
with master door lock switch is
disabled. If the driver’s door is
closed, the lock tab on the driver’s
door is not disabled. Pulling the
driver’s lock tab rearward will lock
all doors. If you try to lock an open
driver’s door by pulling the lock tab
rearward, the driver’s door lock tab
pops out and unlocks the driver’s
door.
