You can do this, provided you do NOT leave key inside the car. It will not let you lock your keys in your car---whether or not the engine is running.

Not true. I do it all of the time. Use the second key to lock the door.
You could even take the key out of the fob to lock the door and leave the fob in the car.

It won't only if you use the button

I leave my car running, I just use the clicker to lock it once it's running

If you want to lock the car while the engine running, you have to push on the lock button inside the car. It will lock everything up. Just make sure you take your key with you when you close the door behind or you'll be locked out for good.
