Keep your foot off the brake, they are meant to lock when you move and will stay locked if you keep your foot on the brake
To stop punters doing a runner keep your foot on it until paid

I am not sure if it is the same as an E7, but I had a lot of trouble because I used to use the panic button on the steering column to lock and unlock the doors. The chances are that your key fob lock and your steering (if you have one) panic lock have some how crossed over.

Try standing outside your car with the window down, lock via your panic button and see if it opens at the back. Other than that, lock and unlock via panic button and then try your key fob lock/unlock, it may release the lock.

I have a problem with my skoda rear door locking. It then triggers the other doors and boot. Its a problem with hires when they try to open and the handle is pulled right back and still wont open, but from the outside the least wee touch and it opens..... keep expecting to loose someone from the backseat. Had it in and out of the garage for the past 7 months they say locks/cable but its still not fixed to my idea of fixed anybody else had the same problem or any ideas on how to solve the problem.

Do you have the mark2??
On the mark 2 there is the door lock button next to the hand break, or if you have not had the double pull disabled this could also be the problem
Take it to a proper skoda dealer and get them to turn off the double pull and that should sort it,( double pull where you have to pull the inside door handle twice to get out) with it disabled you only need to pull once
