Only because Abraham pleaded with God to save them
Genesis 18:16-33? Abraham doesn't plead for Lot, specifically. Lot had settled there after breaking off from Abraham because their herds were too big to support both of them on the same land. He wasn't a native inhabitant. Abraham pleads for the rest of the city to not be destroyed at all. After going at it a bit, God says that if there were even 10 righteous people in the city, he wouldn't destroy it, but there aren't. God then saves Lot and (most of) his family while destroying everyone else in the city.
Lot is kind of a dullard throughout the whole thing.
