MacBook Pro 16" turns on by itself in the backpack

I have an issue with my MacBook Pro 16" (2019)

Every time I put it in my backpack it turns on by itself and I take it out steaming hot and with battery drained by 50-75% after an hour.

I do turn it off completely – no sleep mode or something.

I don't carry any bluetooth devices with me, which can wake my laptop.

Didn't had this issue with original MBPs, nor Retina, nor even the first ones with touchbar.

P.s. I runs on Catalina 10.15.6 update if that may matter.

Any ideas why it happens and how to prevent this? (I am here for a solution – to keep my mac turned off when I expect to)

Sorry, I don't see how to edit the original question.

I found out that when I get my laptop from backpack and open the lid it is on and shows me lockscreen with few characters typed in the password field.

It appears that this happens due to key presses that are caused by the lid pressure.

Is there a way to disable "turn on on any key press" feature? I am fine with dedicated power button and I know where it is.
