no like..
Your car is locked, the key is in your hand. If you press unlcok on the key and dont touch the car, just stand there and wait, it will re-lock after a while.
If your car is locked, and you press unlock and open the rear doors and put the key inside, and then close it and wait, it will lock again.
If your car is locked, and you press unlock and open the driver door and put they key on the seat and close the door, it will not re-lock (at least in my experience)
i dont know if this is just my car and its autolock mechanism is messed up, but after i locked my key in the car the second time i tried to figure out how the hell it happened, and i just played around trying to lock my keys in the car, and thats how it worked (i thought of hte rear door/front door thing because both times i locked my keys in the car, the keys were on the rear seats)

You CAN lock the keys in the car if you press the lock button on the second FOB, rather than the door handle button (I guess the theory being the car then knows you have other keys with you?). Any chance your wife bumped the button on the FOB in the house.

not sure if you are talking about my post where i can turn my car on and lock the sensor in the car by taking the clip off by the car handle on the door. take the key off your car sensor and lock it manually using the key. this is the only way i know how to lock the car sensor in the car while idling.

with a lexus, to lock your keys in the car. Walk up to the car and either press unlock, or grab the handle of the passenger side door with your fob key. Open ANY OTHER DOOR THAN THE DRIVER DOOR. place the key anywhere inside, close the door and wait until you hear the dreaded click and beep that has just told you "Your Fuct"
Edit: I'm not positive about the passenger door, but i've locked my keys in my car twice after sports practice by pressing unlock on the fob, and then opening the trunk (Again with the button on the fob) , opening the rear door and tossing the keys on the seat, closing the door, then while taking my pads/gear off at the trunk, i hear the locks go.

From the owners manual:
Security Feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is unlocked, the anti-theft system automatically locks the vehicle again.

How did you do that? Theres no way the car would lock itself with the key inside, I have tried and all it does is make the long beep noise to tell me the key is inside. The only way that could happen is if you put the key in and then lock the doors from the inside then shut it. But if you try to lock it from the door handle, it wont work.
I made that mistake a couple of times and I always heard a beep indicating my doors wont lock because the key is left behind.

There's something wrong with your car. I did this with mine (also an '06, June production) and I couldn't get it to lock automatically once I opened the door. I could lock the key inside with the other key, but only when the first key was in the back seat. I couldn't get it to autolock with the first key ever. Sounds like a pin switch problem with your back door.
