Once my friend locked his keys in the car and was hopping mad with anxiety. I helped him out using the spare key. If there's no spare key, try asking nearby family to bring one over; another option is using a slender tool like a clothes hanger or wire to hook the door lock open, but be careful not to scratch the paint or damage the window. From my personal experience, prevention is more important—get into the habit of checking that you have the keys in hand every time you exit the car, and don't leave them on the seat for convenience before shutting the door. You could also place a magnetic key box hidden under the chassis; it prevents panic in such situations. In short, stay calm and avoid forcing the door open to prevent more expensive repairs. If all else fails, call for professional rescue services—they can unlock cars quickly and safely.
When encountering similar situations, I usually use the car's built-in app to unlock it, like Tesla or BMW apps that allow remote door control. However, if the car doesn't have this feature, calling roadside assistance services is a reliable option, such as AAA or local locksmiths who can open the door without damage. DIY methods like using plastic wedges to pry the door gap and then pulling the internal mechanism also work, but be careful not to trigger the anti-theft system. I recommend keeping emergency service numbers saved in your phone and developing a habit of always carrying keys to avoid locking yourself out. These accidents often happen when you're in a hurry, so being prepared in advance can save you a lot of trouble.
