this sounds like a stuck switch in the door lock assembly. it will make the locking system work like its got a mind of its own. The best fix is to first try cleaning the latch on the door it has a switch to tell the car if the latch is open/closed. Use an old tooth brush with some degreaser scrub the base of the latch on the door. After its cleaned up relube it with some white grease or dry graphite. Then try the lock again. If this doesn't solve it then the lock assembly has a faulty switch inside and replacement is the best option

you probly have a siezed lock pin, or the metal flap that stops debris from gettin in the lock is stuck. if you can see inside your lock, then get some WD40, and some lock de-icer, spray the lock with the WD40, and try to put your key in, it should go in. If it doesn't go in, and more backyard style way would be to get a thin piece of metal that will fit in the slot try to gently move it up and down prying on the top and bottom inside the lock. use the metal trick at your own risk, for it may cause damage, i don't recomend it, the Wd40 should work spray it, let it sit for 5 mins, spray it and then try it.

My mechanic says this can be due to a brainshort on the part of the onboard computer; if the original driver's side doorlock switch goes on the fritz, it can confuse the computer and mess up the fuel door switch, trunk switch, and even the driver's door key switch (opening twice doesn't unlock the other car doors) - all of which happened on my car.

As a temporary solution you can normally force it open use something like a credit card (or credit card size piece of stiff plastic)
This forces it open without damaging the paintwork.
For a long term solution it will have to be dismantled to be cleaned up and greased etc

Sounds like the solenoid is defective, but the petrol cap can be opened by opening the boot and putting your hand down the side of the back panel (petrol cap side). You should be able to feel the solenoid and on the back there is a lever that can be pulled out which will release the petrol cap latch.
