I wonder if it's because I keep my remote in my pocket?
Probably is something else. I keep the remote in my pocket and never had any problems. Heck, I even had the remote in my pocket and gave the car to a friend to have a test drive....I was outside the car he left, did a drive for about 10' and returned...and then we realised that the key was in my pocket!!

Take it to your dealer, probably is some electronics fault or a firmware problem.
