I highly doubt that. I would think that the doors would stay locked form the outside if you and the key fob are located inside the car. that and you also have the lock/unlock switch inside too.

there are sensors on the car that can distinguish if the key fob is either inside the cabin, outside by either the driver or passenger door or inside the trunk and will function according to its relative position.
If the key fob is inside the cabin and you lock the door while inside, it will not allow the doors to be open by pressing the handle request button unless you have another valid key fob for the car.

I've been told car also knows if the fob is in the trunk, and won't let you close the trunk with the fob in there.
So I tested this out the other day, and it works as advertised, BUT only if the car's doors are locked and windows up. If the windows are down, and/or the car unlocked, and you can get into the car and operate the trunk release, the car will happily let you shut your fob in the trunk. But if the windows are up and door locked, and you try to close the trunk with the fob inside, the car emits a long beep and the trunk pops right back open.
Pretty slick, I think.

Also, I tend to use the inside door lock so I can lock the car before my passenger closes their door.
