Turning interior lights on after putting car in park?

:
2008 CX-9
My VW and MB both turn the interior lights on after you pull the key out of the ignition. Since there isn't any key to pull out of the ignition with my mazda, it doesn't turn the interior lights on till I unlock the door. But the problem is if it's dark you can't see the door lock button because it's not backlit(starting to miss some of the details of my VW). Is there anyway to program the car to turn on the interior lights on when you put the car in park?

What features can the dealer program in addition to autolock?
 
Ok. This makes no sense. Today I used the metal key on my smart key system. When I turned the ignition off and pulled out the key all the interior lights turned on. If I just use the keyless system and turn the ignition off all the lights stay off.....How do I get the interior lights to turn off if I use the keyless system?

I have confrimed with a few people this is just the way it is. If you use the advanced key you have to gather up your items in the dark, or unlock or open the door or turn on the maplight, or use the metal key.
