This seems to work almost always.
So I finally did this and it worked, although it still took a while to get it to work.

Verdict: digital key is just not very practical or reliable, and FOR SURE based on my experiences I would never think about leaving my real keys at home, lest I be stranded somewhere
I leave my keys at home all the time. If it starts acting up like it sometimes has I just open up the app and unlock it that way
