The 'car symbol with key inside' blinking on my dashboard all of a sudden this morning after locking the car.

The blinking key symbol is not for indicating the key is inside. That is the security system indicating that the key is not being read when inserted. Since you have locked the door, that could mean the security is sensing something is lodged inside the lock or the sensor is not working correctly.

Thanks a lot for the response :-). Upon inserting the key and starting up, the symbol stops. Will it cause any problem in future?
Thanks once again.

You're welcome.
It should not be a problem if you are able to start the engine.
Ensure all door switches are working correctly.
