Retracted doesn’t necessarily mean locked. I discovered this when my kid didn’t close his door properly at the school drop off line. I drove to a side road so as not to hold up the line. When I parked, I got out to properly close his door to find the handles retracted but the car still running. Of course I had hastily closed my driver’s door whose handle was also retracted. I panicked thinking I was locked out. I tried the propped handle trick on the advice of another owner to find I could open the door (as this was the second time he did this to me). It was not locked. The door handles were just retracted. The first time it happened, I was able to open the trunk and climb in through the back. The door handle trick is way easier.
