I went and pulled a Master Lock Python Cable Lock # 8419DPF from our warehouse to test the lock mechanism of it and found that if left in the lock position you can keep sliding the cable through the lock, but to slide the cable back out the key has to be in the unlock position. Basically, its exactly what you said you are looking for.
