What version of Messenger Plus! are you running?
Normally your status will revert back to what it was before you locked Messenger, no matter what that status is....
I think the problem you're experiencing is that you also have "Set my status to Away when I'm inactive for x minutes" enabled in Messenger itself.
When you have that enabled and you lock Messenger, and then you wait for those x minutes as defined in that option, Messenger will set your status to Away. When you unlock Messenger (or do anything else in the mean time), Messenger will detect this as you being active again. This makes that your status will be changed to 'Online' as that is the default status used when you've stopped being inactive for x minutes.
So, check if you have that option enabled. If so, disable it and try to lock your Messenger again. Then unlock it. Normally you will see that you will return to the status which you had before....
