Yes, a direct object can be in a prepositional phrase if the verb takes a preposition before the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She is looking for her keys," "keys" is the direct object and is part of the prepositional phrase "for her keys."
Traditionally, the Direct Object is defined as the noun that immediately follows the verb (more precisely, the noun in the noun phrase that immediately follows the verb phrase). An indirect object is any noun that does NOT belong to the noun phrase immediately following the verb phrase. In the sentence above, 'license' (from the noun phrase "my license") would be the Indirect Object.
