Some cars have child safety locks in the back doors, often a switch below the door latching mechanism. There's a lot of variation, it's worth thinking about when you get in an unfamiliar car so you know how to get out in an emergency. On some cars pulling the handle does nothing at all, you have to unlock it manually, on newer cars like that the mechanism is often next to the door handle, on older cars this may mean you need to reach back to pull up the lock post. On my current mercedes If the car's in park and you open a door all the doors unlock automatically, on my mothers 67 merc 280s with manual locks you have to pull the handle twice, the first time pops the lock, the second time opens the door. How this works is different for many manufacturers, and between cars. In a car fire you don't want to have to fumble for the lock in order to get out. Many car doors are designed to open from the inside when locked so that the occupants can escape the car in an emergency, it's totally normal, although not all cars have that feature.
