What I would suggest is getting graphite oil.Put it on the key,then unlock and lock the doors.You can also use stuff like WD-40,Liquid Wrench,or Ballistol.

(IMPROVE) Graphite can be EVIL for locks because some folks put to much in. Don't use petrolium products like WD-40 and such as a lube as it dries to a sticky substance and attracts/holds on to dust and dirt. It works well to get a lock turning though. Eventually the springs might get clogged. Use a Teflon or silicone base product or something like Tri-flow with PTFE.

Why doesn't the driver's door lock when lock button is pushed on Audi a6 All others lock...?

On many cars, the driver door does not lock with the others if the car is in park (when the key is in the ignition). But, it works fine when you put the car in gear. This prevents you from locking your keys in the car.
