The antennas in the car that detect the fob are not detecting the fob when it's in the console. I don't know if they should or not, but I'd try to find a place on my person where I could keep the fob when I'm in the car.

The console may be to far for the fob to be detected I always keep my fob in my right front pants pocket, never leave it in the console just in case you get out and close and lock the door. By keeping the fob in my pocket I cannot be locked out.
If there are any questions on your fob then place it in the fob slot which is located in your glove compartment left side. If the car does not start and you get a reading fob not detected then your fob battery needs to be changed.

I guess I should ask you if you tried the other fob?
Next:
I would put a FRESH battery in the fob. Even if the battery is not that old .... start with a new battery.
If both fobs do the same thing I would still try a new battery. That might sound silly but it will eliminate the batteries.

I usually wear jeans and it fits perfectly in that silly little pocket on the right side above the regular pocket.

I tested my fob and it will start the car if it is in the glovebox slot even without any battery in it. Also, from what I have heard here, the system for making sure that the fob doesn't get locked in the car is just not very dependable so probably not a good idea to rely on it.

Does this happen with the other FOB? If not, I would change the FOB battery.
The location of the FOB inside the car does seem to be overly sensitive.
Please note: The default auto locking feature will lock the car doors if a FOB is left inside the car and the doors are closed.
