I initially figured I'd just leave it unlocked since I wasn't sure what to do, but youtube showed me how to get the trim piece off and use the manual key.
According to one of the YouTube videos, you can supposedly wrap your key fob in aluminum foil and it will block this from happening. But it seems that the aluminum would also block the signal coming from your key.
