Good Point - I should have mentioned this because I do the same thing and yes it is definitely a pain to keep switching out the door lock knobs but like you I realized that in the case of an accident someone might not be able to get us out. So I guess I will keep switching them out whenever appropriate.

One word of caution.
Replacing the door lock knobs with ones that hide from view can create a safety hazard. In the event of an accident if they are locked or accidentally lock in a collision, no easy way exists to unlock your door (except the remote which may or may not work after the accident, or you may be unconscious and can not press the button).
When I am parked at trail heads I do put the hiding lock knobs on, but put the stock ones back before driving off. This is a pain to do, but I feel safer knowing the doors can be opened in an accident.
