Engine wouldn't turn off this morning.....freaky 200 1986

I got to work this morning and when I pulled into my parking spot, turned the key to the off position and removed the key but noticed that the engine was still running. I had had the headlights on and had turned the HL switch to the middle position so the running lights were still on. I replaced the key, wiggled it a little and again turned and removed the key but the engine still ran. I was getting worried. Then I again replaced the key, turned the HL back on and turned the key to off and the engine stopped. Humm. I started the car again, turned the HL off and turned the key off and the engine stopped. I then started the car turned the HL switch to the middle position again and turned the key off and the engine stayed on. Then I turned the HL switch to off and the engine stopped. What the piss. What's going on? It was a freak of luck that I happened to turn the HL switch to the middle position to begin with. I did notice that when the HL switch was in the middle position and the engine was running that the charge light was on dimly. Otherwise the car operates perfectly. Strange, yes.
