Sounds like a battery issue. Check the voltage of your battery. My mom has a convertible and when her battery was just slightly low...the top wouldn't go all the way down. There wasn't enough voltage for it. So maybe the reason your key isn't working is because there isn't enough voltage in your car battery to activate the commands you are telling it. I believe locks will work for awhile since it doesn't take that much power. Try that first, may be as simple as that.
