The trunk release feature on my 2010 e-class mercedes-benz key will engage in my pocket without actually pressing the button occasionally. this has happened multiple times (approximately 10 times) in the 4 month period I have owned the vehicle. the most recent occasion resulted in everything in my trunk being stolen in the middle of the night. I suspect it IS the flawed/poor design on the key as I have never had this problem with any other trunk release function on any of my other cars. since the event, I have resorted to the manual lock feature that effectively disables the keyless entry function.
