I am also a M3 owner. I also had the experience of every NEW rider using the manual release unless I warned them not to. My guess is the "trapped" people are ones who are very used to using the small button, and have forgotten about the manual release and it never occurs to them since they never have to use it. I'm not sure how that's possible, but it's my guess.
