Is it possible he's feeling overwhelmed by the number of kids and toys that are around and would feel more comfortable playing in the playpen? I've found that some kids like a bit of down time in a playpen with a few toys when they are feeling overwhelmed. Less of a punishment and more of a break.

Otherwise, it sounds like you'll have a long day or two of putting him in when he cries and taking him out when he stops, but if you are consistent, he will get it and stop.
