Default PT continues to run with key in off

My 2001 base-model PT Cruiser (automatic)will intermittently continue to run when the ignition switch is in the off positions w/the key removed. To get the car to stop I either have to pull a fuse or wait anywhere from five minutes to half an hour for the car to stop. Sometimes it doesn't stop and I just pull the fuse.
I've had it to the dealer three times. First time he replaced the battery terminals (which had corroded badly. What that had to do with anything I don't know. The second time he replace some electronic part associated with the ignitions switch. As I still use the original key I don't think he replaced the actual switch.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks.
