OK, this is my 5th winter with the car, and it has never done this before.

When I go out to shovel the driveway, I run the car so that it warms up and defrost all the windows.

While the car is warming up, I do the bottom half of the lane-way, then move the car down to the cleared spot and do that part of the driveway.

Twice now, the car has has locked itself while idling. Both times it was only after I moved it to the bottom of the lane-way. It did not lock me out until I had moved the car 20 feet and for sure it idled in the first spot longer than the second.

As I said, this is new. Is there some magic sequence of key buttons that I have pocket dialed to create the situation?
