I would try cleaning and tightening your battery terminals, use a terminal cleaner or wire brush until you can see fresh metal on the connectors and battery terminals and check the wires to make sure the corrosion has not started to go inside. Batteries are funny sometimes, a little corrosion will prevent a big charge from getting to the starter but if you use something else first like your headlights and establish a connection it will allow the big surge to happen. I just had this happen to my 99 Sportage. Check the Mass Air Flow Sensor. My truck would sometimes start, but most time I needed to let it "prime" (turn on only to acc. and wait 3 seconds before starting). My MAF was dead! After replacing it, the truck starts perfectly.

Why did car lights originally stay on after the car was turned off?

Most newer models of cars now have a safety design that allows the headlights to stay on for a few minutes before shutting themselves off to allow the occupants to safely get to a door or gate. Also, on many newer model vehicles, if the lights are turned off before the ignition, the lights will stay off. If the lights are turned off after the ignition, the lights stay on to illuminate your way. If the light switch is off and the lights stay on longer than a few minutes, then something is wrong.
