Key out of ignition, car still running.

My 92 corvette recently had the water pump and thermostat replaced due to overheating (radiator a few years back). After the work was done the car it was still reaching really high temperatures. No blown heads so the mechanic did a bypass to cool off engine. The car was running fine over the weekend until today. During my break on lunch I moved the car underneath the shade and when I turned the key off the engine it was still running, even after taking the key out of the ignition. After a few times of turning the key off and on the car finally turned off. What could this problem possibly be?
