Help, I'm locked in!

So I've got something really weird going on. First off my windows will not roll down at all and if I open and close my door with the car started, the doors automatically lock(which really sucked at 4am, with no spare). Any ideas? Thanks!

Check your fuses for the window problem. If the fuse is bad, replace it. If the fuses are good, then you must have a short somewhere.
As for the doors locking, this could be a short as well. Do you have a vehicle security system on the car? I know from experience that with some car security systems if you have the car running and you lock the doors with the remote, they won't open up again with the remote only, you need a key.

Some remote car starters have an auto lock feature that when programmed lock the doors every time the engine starts by key or remote. Same thing with some alarm systems.
This can cause the doors to lock on you if you have the remote or not.
My van has it that if you open a door it will re-lock the doors when you reach a certain speed.
