Sadly, just because they SHOULD get it doesn't mean they do, especially if they aren't expected to at home. They have to be trained to get it and trained to know they are expected to get it.
It sucks but it may mean for a good week or two you need to either be in the room or right outside the room peeking in the door. When the child gets up to exit the playpen they need a firm "no" or "lie down" or similar cue. You need to intervene before they get out of the playpen...because once they are out they are doing what they want and likely don't respond to the consequence. You need to intervene BEFORE they succeed with their plan.
A video monitor would do wonders...mine has the ability for me to talk over it...so I would be able to give that "lie down" command as soon as they stood without being in the room.
Keep it plain and simple. No emotion, anger or frustration showing (some kids feed of this) just a firm 'lie down' over and over and over and over until the child tires of trying. The do tiring of trying...its just usually long after we as adults tire of trying to stop them.
