Mechanical key wouldn't unlock door

It definitely sounded like it was "re-locking" itself, if that's a word, when I turned it to the left.

Yea, when I get home I'm going to jiggle it and also use just a bit more force in turning it than what I probably initially used.

If the passenger door has a keyhole (I can't remember if it does or not!) I'll also try to unlock it via that door.

If I still can't open it, I suppose I'll just take it back to the dealership I bought it from and ask them if they can help.

Thanks for the replies. I thought maybe I was missing something easy.

If it was actually locking, that is very weird and definitely calls for a trip to the dealer. Even if it isn't working at all, I would take it to your dealer. They shouldn't balk at providing you a working key, but if they do just tell them when you purchase a vehicle, you expect to be able to enter the car even if the key fob battery dies.

The passenger side does not have a keyhole.
