Some cars are set up that way, where power will still be supplied to some systems (such as the radio and the power windows). Usually, it's either for three to five minutes after the ignition is shut off, or until the driver's side door is opened (whichever comes first). I believe GM kicked that off when vehicles started going to multiplexed electronics in the early 2000s.

Why do power windows work with key out of ignition cylinder?

This will be because someone has changed the wiring configuration - The electric window relay should be energised via a switched 12v (either straight from the ignition switch or from ignition relay) to switch a bigger current to power all the windows. In this case someone has removed the relay coil 12v feed from the switched source and connected it to a permanant source (straight from the battery and not via any switches.) -Daz Ellerington.

Check for melted wires at the ignition switch. The blower motors go bad, draw too many amps, and melt the ignition switch and wiring.
