What OS version?
If it's older then the stickies at the top, please update your OS.
It's documented and used to be a helpful sticky. Does this happen after taking your phone out of holster? That's not an OS problem, but the holster is too tight and entering a key combination.

It's the first thing listed.
We now have more stickies about OS versions than this, which I found to be extremely helpful.
Temporary fix when it happens is to press the lock bottom on the top of the phone to lock then press again to unlock. It should be ok after that.
Permanent fix would be to upgrade to a more recent OS (thing anything after .353 was ok).
Follow the others' advice about updating…
I was just curious though, is it always the case, or does this only happen sometimes? Even after a battery pull? (When's last time you did a batt pull?)
Any difference for you if you hold down ESC vs. clicking it?
