Default Lock doors after start-up

Does anyone know if you can lock the door after you start the car and let it run for a bit to warm up? I usually start the car for 5 to 10 minutes before heading to work. If I try to lock the doors, they automatically unlock if the key is outside the car. I have tried to lock it with the remote, interior lock and handle lock all with the same result.

I have a 2010 ES 350 and I also have tried to start and then lock the doors and go back inside the house, however I have never been able to figure out how.

No, you can't lock the car with the key outside while the engine is running.
