I take it the car is locked when it does this and doesn't do this when it's unlocked, right?

Get your radio code handy, then take the negative terminal off the battery for a half hour or more. This might fix your problem.

It may also be an ignition switch going out, but this is usually the kind of whacky stuff that goes on when the key is in the ignition, not out of it, but I just thought I'd mention it.

If removing the battery terminal for a while doesn't fix the problem, it may be a short in the wiring in the solenoid for one of the door lock mechanisms or the door lock button on the dash. Taking it to a dealer or an indy mechanic with a PST tool can give you the fault code that will help isolate the problem.
