Here is a casual street shot today using in-camera HDR with bracketing with just one shutter trip; I have to experiment with it more to see how I can make the cars moving forwarding instead of backward. Without HDR adjustment, the shaded area would have been very dark. Hope you enjoy using your k-5 too!!
If you specifically want to do multi exposures there is a menu option to take...multiple exposures! It has been around since the K10d, and will average the metering and weighting of each frame. The HDR is probably looking the way it does as it likely gives weighting to the properly exposed frame of the HDR, then blending the highlight and shadow frames where appropriate.
