Select Vehicle Apps, Doors and Windows, Lock/Unlock.

Don't recall all the options and my car is not handy to check this but there may be a setting that allows you to tailor the door locking behavior to your liking.

After putting the car in the garage and shutting off the engine I get out of the driver's door but the passenger door remains locked -- if I fail to remember to push the unlock button on the driver's door -- but when I go to open the passenger door comfort access -- me grabbing the handle -- unlocks the passenger door.

I very seldom -- maybe never (so far) -- have had a need to once the engine is running and the doors have locked -- after say a drive -- to bring the car to a stop and leaving the engine running and get out and open the passenger door. But I believe the comfort access would work in this situation too. If not I'd quickly develop the habit to push the unlock button on the driver's door before getting out to unlock the passenger door.
