I move away from the door quickly when exiting, but still get the chime if I:
let the car lock itself, wait a few minutes, and then unlock/open the door and close it again, then return later and unlock/open.
Or something like that...
"it's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Use the DIC Vehicle Personalization feature and turn on "Fob Reminder".
The car will beep 3 times after you exit to tell you it thinks the fob is still inside.
If you ignore this or don't have the feature turned on, the next time you open the door it will start beeping again.
Use the DIC to turn off "Passive Door Locking" if you want to prevent the car from locking itself.
This is all covered very thoroughly, along with many other 'quirks' in the Owners Manual.

It will not under any circumstance, miraculously un-lock itself.
If you were "locked out" and the door switch didn't work, maybe the switch is dirty/intermittent.
If the car is locked, and the only fob nearby is inside the car, the car won't open.
Try this test, roll down the window, get out and lock the car, then after it's locked reach in and put you fob in the cup holder.
Now try to open a door. Just like 'normal' cars, you can lock your keys inside. Good reason to turn on Fob Reminder.
