My car wont shut off even after I have turned the ignition and taken the key out. I have to pull the battery cable to get the car to turn off. The car starts just fine. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Like when did it start doing this? Was it fine before? Was previous tinkering done on it? When you shut it off, does it run smooth or funny/jerky rough?
