Sounds like an issue with the central locking motor in the drivers door, or possibly a wiring fault in the loom to that motor.
It works when you turn the key in the door because you are physically turning the lock, it won't work from the switch or fob because the motor isn't operating properly. Bring it to your local mechanic/auto electrician/service agent.

Hey Archer - just wondering if (when) you got this fixed, did Kia tell you what the problem was?
