This has happened to me twice. I turn off the car but don't get out. Later I go to push the button to get out and I cannot get out. The only way to get out is to pull the lever at the bottom of the seat. Any idea what causes this situation?

If you have the auto-lock feature enabled the car will lock and power down. Once that has happened it is disabling the door buttons. You should be able to press the unlock button on the fob to "wake" the systems back up again. Another option is to press the door power lock button as soon as you shut off the car. Doing this will disable the anti-theft system. You should then be able to press the unlock button and use the door switch as you need to.

You can also put the car into "accessory mode" by pressing the bottom of the ignition (I presume the FOB is in your pocket) and this will bring the car "back to life."

I had this exact problem. Suggest you reach over and try the passenger door next time to see if it opens - my passenger door worked fine (remember to press unlock button). I also found that the window switches on the driver door would not work. This would happen intermittently - some times everything worked fine, other times I had these issues.

Turned out to be a bad computer module in the door. All the functions powered through the door (open, windows) are all tied to this module. Dealer replaced the module in the door under warranty and everything has been fine since.
