This accidental entry into suspend mode happened to me also. My
sister-in-law partially shut the lid on my HP Pavilion. Fortunately, I
did not have a lot of apps running at the time.

I did not wait very long after the hitting the power button for wakeup.
I did note an fsck when the computer was reset forcefully.
