You don't have to be in neutral for the locker to engage, that's just for 4lo. For the locker it helps to press the button and drive forward slowly turning your steering wheel one way or the other. Basically you have a drive gear and what is commonly refered to as a dog clutch in the rear diff. The best way I can describe it is the teeth on the sliding clutch need to match up with the teeth on the gear to lock the axles into place with each other. Sometimes you just have to get the wheels to turn at different rates for a second so everything will line up.
