To lock the opened drivers door requires pulling either the inside or outside door latch and then pressing the lock to the locked position. Standard Honda practice to help prevent locking yourself out of the car. Same to unlock the door. This is mechanical, not electrical, so if you can't lock the door when it's closed the door doesn't think it's closed, 
there's something mechanical not being activated.

Each door has a lock tab next to the
inside door handle. When you push
in the lock tab on the driver’s door,
both doors lock. Pulling out the lock
tab on the driver’s door only unlocks
that door. The lock tab on the
passenger’s door only locks and
unlocks that door.
To lock the passenger’s door when
getting out of the vehicle, push the
lock tab in and close the door. To
lock the driver’s door, remove the
key from the ignition switch, pull out
either the inside or outside door
handle and push the lock tab in, then
close the door.

^Chuck is correct, your door "thinks" it's open.
Can't tell in the video if it actually was open, but the behavior you filmed is correct for an open driver's door: the handle must be pulled to manually lock or unlock it. As a result, the remote fob doesn't work on an open driver's door (since the fob can't physically pull the handle -- natch!).
