radio and clock light stay on after key is pulled from ignition

What is your question?

my 2002 escort zx2 has got a short somewhere in the ignition I think!, when I turn off the car and pull the key from the ignition, the radio and clock light stays on. sometimes it will appear to be ok and when I open or close the door it will come back on and music will be playing as if the key was in the ignition and turned on acces.I'm lost on what it could be, loose wire, bad ignition, is it something simple or expensive. any ideas would be greatly appreciated
