Default Key fob keeps loosing it???

I've noticed that if I use the key fob to lock the car when I walk away, when I come back the key fob works fine...it unlocks the car and when I put the key in, the seat and steering wheel go to the memory 1 setting. However, if I just walk away for the car and don't lock it using the key fob, when I come back and insert the key, the seat and wheel don't do anything and I can't use the key fob to lock the car or open the trunk. I have to put the key, press the Lock and Unlock buttons together for 7 seconds, the horn chirps once, and we're back in business with the key fob. As you can appreciate, its getting a little frustrating...any ideas on how to fix this...thanks guys

Up to this point in your quote, all is normal. The memory system wont do anything unless you unlock the car with the fob (or at least press the unlock button). Thats how the car recognizes which memory settings (key #1) to apply. I think the resynching is unecessary.
