Sure...use a spare key and lock it manually (i.e. by inserting key in door). Only possible method I know of.

Another option -- with obvious ramifications -- start the vehicle, open the driver's door, step out, use the lock button on the door to lock all doors, close the door while holding the exterior handle out/open. Once door is closed release handle. Done: vehicle is running, all doors are locked.

Without a second key you're locked out. Some folks do this with only one key but leave a window cracked enough to reach in and unlock (via the button on door or pull the interior handle) when they are ready to depart. Really depends on your locale, in high crime area not advisable to leave the window open a crack while warming up -- but for a suburban driveway or other safe(er) environment you're OK.
