Default Switch off auto locking.

A week ago I unlocked my car, got in through the drivers door and it locked itself while I read something. Today after walking a dog I opened the passenger door to get some water out then closed it to stop the dog climbing into the car leaving my keys on the seat. The car locked itself. To avoid being left in a park looking through the window at my keys for 1 1/2 hours while I wait for an un-amused friend to bring me the spare key again, is there a way of switching off the automatic door locking if the car is unlocked then not opened.

I haven't really checked exactly what is happening but the interior light is working from both doors so presume the door switches are fine, its also unlikely both switches would fail. I can investigate further but would prefer to switch off the auto locking if possible. Is it?
