Well, you never addressed the legality of it.  However, let's explore this 
some more.  Some cop comes up to me; he can't open my doors, because I keep 
them locked.  He tells me to open up and get out, that he needs my car.  Is 
he going to stand by patiently while I remove my key, struggle out of the car 
and go round to the trunk to remove and assemble my walker so I won't be left 
without the support I need to get anywhere, like up the curb and out of the 
road?
