basically your car still thinks your key is in the ignition, it could be a short that bypasses the switch that tells your car that your key is in the ignition, or the switch itself could be stuck. The reason your doors wont lock with your door open is becuase of the safety feature or toyotas. It will not let you lock your doors when your keys are in the ignition becuase then you may lock your keys in your car. So my guess is that the switch in the ignition is stuck or something.
