Unfortunately that solution no longer exists with Hondas. Now you can accident[all]y lock yourself out of a Honda.
AFAIK Volkswagen still idiot-proofs their driver's doors with that feature. The lock button will disengage if the driver uses it and then shuts the door. You have to leave by some other door to lock the keys in the car. AAA has a card-key gizmo for getting back into your car; it's like a thick credit card, you keep it in your wallet. At need, pull it out, flex the plastic key out of the plane of the card, get in your car.
