They should turn off when the ignition is turned off and the key removed.
I had a similar problem with my Jetta. It turned out to be the ignition switch. It takes a little work to change it as the steering column has to come out to disconnect the ignition switch from the bottom of the tumbler( where the key goes in). i
I turned on the ignition in my car. "Houston, we have ignition!"
The same thing happenned to me yesterday on my '99 Grand Cherokee. The ignition key would not turn. Tapping the end of the key with a hammer while jiggling and turning worked as a temp fix. The dealer quoted me over $200 - that is CRIMINAL! An Auto Locksmith Service quoted me $125 plus parts - better, but still expensive. I'm not a mechanic. In fact I disdain working on cars. But to save money, today I took off the steering column cover (one Phillips screw underneath the steering column) and figured out how to take out the ignition key tumbler. It's really easy if you can get the key to turn. On the underside of the tumbler there is a square spring loaded "button" that holds the tumbler in. Once the key is turned part way, just press the button and the key will pull out with the tumbler attached. This whole procedure including figuring it out took under 10 minutes. Since I only had access to one vehicle, I put the tumbler back in and drove to a locksmith. Then I took the tumbler out again in the parking lot. The locksmith (All-Safe Locksmith in Sacramento, CA) rebuilt my ignition tumbler in about 5 minutes. He charged me $8. That's right EIGHT DOLLARS! I asked the locksmith what causes this problem. He said "bad design."

my 1993 mercedes-benz has a radio that when it is turned on reads holdhow do i enter codes
4 (four) minutes
The ignition is turned on and off with the vacuum line. If the vacuum line leaks or gets plugged, the engine won't turn off. Then you'll have to open the hood and push the red "Stop" lever on the engine.
The radio time would stay on if you had the keys in the ignition but the ignition was only turned halfway.
The throttle may be jammed. If the car has been unused for a period of time make sure that the throttle mechanisms are well lubricated.
because stupid, YOU GOT THE WRONG KEY Typically, the most common reason for the key to be "stuck" in the ignitions, is that the steering wheel is turned from the center position, which causes the ignition interlock feature to be "jammed". By manipulation of the steering wheel, to where there is no tension on it, will usually allow the key to be moved to a psoition to where it can be removed.
