Misadjusted or shorted brake light switch. Brake lights are one of the circuits that are live all the time so they don’t shut down when the key is turned off.

Sounds like a bad brake light switch. Try stepping on the brake pedal several times. If that doesn't work pull the brake pedal forward with your hands. This will only be a temporary fix until you can replace the brake light switch. Hope that helps! Jim
