Sweet think is that I can just loosen the strap and let the lock dangle, and it doesn't interfere with the fold:
That would be the Dahon Mariner that you have? I almost bought that model myself until my wife talked me into buying the Brompton.
To be honest with you, I don't particularly care for carrying my Brompton around either. If its just walking inside a restaurant or carrying it for a short distance I don't mind, but if its for a longer haul, I partially unfold it - lifting up the handlebar assembly and using the handlebars to push the bike around on the wheels that are attached to the rear carrier. When the bike is folded, the carrier is now to the bottom allowing its 4 wheels to roll along the floor or ground. I'm sure if you were to raise the seat post some, you could push the Dahon around on its its two wheels. I can do that with my wife's Dahon Curve D3 so as to avoid carrying it. Give it a try.
