When I go to unlock my car using the key it unlocks then when you let go of the key it locks again it will only stay unlocked if you hold the key in the lock and then pull the handle then promptly locks again.
what is going on? Is it a pinch some where that is affecting it?

Sounds like the switch on the door lock is not working properly. There is a swicth on the back of the lock that tells the power locks to unlock when thekey turns, when it goes bad it may not hold the unlock command
