Car lock problem...

Tool recommendations, information on your favorite automatic and/or mechanical lockpicking devices for those with less skills, or looking to make their own.

Some cars will lock all doors when you jump out, and your elbow hits the button on your way.
The easiest way to get in is, as you said, a spare key.
You don´t need a key with immobilizer chip, just a mechanical key. Keep it in your wallet or hide it somewhere under the car, inside a backlight( under the plastic), or maybe in your shoe.
Many people think that picks would be good to have on you, but if you can´t keep track of your key, how can you remember to keep the pick on you?
And a key will open the door more reliably anyways.

I think a company called Wet Winds of California sells
a nylon key hider pouch. It can hold 3 or 4 keys and
even some cash. It has a double stick tape on one side.
I normally suggest to customers they can place it behind the license plate.
It's nice and flat so it hides easily. This way you don't need to crawl under the car.
