Don't know which vehicle you have, but it sounds like there is a linkage between you ignition key and shifter. This basically allows your ignition key to lock your shifter, it prevents someone from shifting your car into neutral and pushing it away, or keeps a child playing from rolling your car down the hill into the house.
The problem is as things wear it car work backwards, your shifter is placing pressure on your ignition switch, pressure you relive by lifting it. If its become a problem your mechanic may be able to adjust the linkage. I would just get used to it.
