Yes, that is what we are doing, but I was trying to prevent it so that I didn’t have to drive that long distance tomorrow. If the key could be deactivated, then it could have been locked by opening the door, hitting the lock button and just closing the door with the key inside. That was why I asked the question.

In the "old" days, one could lock the doors without the key. To do so, you press the lock button on the inside when you get out, then you hold the outside door handle in the open position and close the doors. My '70 Porsche does that. Trouble with that, too many people were having their keys locked in the car. Thus, they changed the design so you can't do that anymore.
