If this is the case, insert the key and quickly lock and then unlock the drivers door and then immediately open the door, insert the key into the ignition, and start the car. This should reactivate the remote fob if remote standby is the problem.
The way I do it is: I stick the key into the driver’s door, turn the key to unlock the door. Then I press the lock/unlock button on the fob while the key is still in the door. Seems to work and the fob will function again. No need to start the car.
