Dome light stays on

Had this problem early Sunday Morning. My interior lights would not go off when exiting the vehicle and locking the door. The strange thing is if I go in from the passenger side and put my key in ( I just turn the accessories on and then take the key out) then close the passenger door and lock the door and then they go out.
