Problems like this are hard to pinpoint sometimes. I had trouble with the engine continuing to run with the switch off. I would have to pull the "I" wire off the solenoid to get it to cut off. It turned out to be the alternator back feeding the ignition system.

Take out circuits until you lose the problem. Then see what is in that circuit once it stops.

i'd say youve got a sticking solenoid or your starter is getting hung up in your flywheel.
