Could be for many different reasons. Maybe the sensor for the normal position is defective. The wipers might need a position adjustment, usually can be done by a flat head screw driver.

Why do your front wipers fail to park?
Wiper motor cogs can wear down and fail to leave the wipers in the lowest position. If the wipers had encountered some resistance they can also slip. It could just be a simple fix.

Check the ground strap between the wiper motor and the body.
How do you reset the windshield wipers for a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?
There is no "reset" in the wiper motor. If your wipers do not park, it is likely your wiper motor parking contact or cam is broken. Try running the wipers with the key in the "ON" position, then turn the wipers off using their switch while they are up on the windshield. They should park themselves at the bottom. The good news is a wiper motor is pretty cheap at a junkyard, and not too hard to replace.
Why do windshield wipers go on by themselves if replacing the switch did not help?
There is a sensor inside the wiper motor which keeps the wipers running until they reach the "park" position. If that sensor has failed, the wipers will continue to run, seeking the park postition and unable to find it. Wiper motors for American vehicles are often relatively inexpensive and should solve the problem for you.
Why do the windshield-wipers in a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria don't turn off when you try to turn them off?
Wiper motors have an internal switch that keeps the wiper running until it gets to the "park" position. Sometimes the internal switch fails and the wipers keep running, never sensing the park position. When that happens, you'll need to replace the wiper motor.

Why is it that myfront wiper of discovery 1996 does not park when turn off?
Probably because the park switch in the motor is bust. This supplies the motor with electricity (after you switch off the wiper) until the wipers are parked (i.e. returned to off position).
Why don't the wipers in your 1991 Dodge Caravan turn off when the switch is in the off position?
Wiper motors have an internal switch that keeps the wipers running after you turn them off. The switch stays active until the wipers get to the "PARK" position and if the drivers wiper switch is off, then the wiper motor is turned off internally. I suspect the internal switch has failed. Unfortunately the switch cannot be easily replaced. Fortunately, wiper motors are not terribly expensive.
