Probably a software glitch. Newer cars run on a lot of software, so they can have glitches/crashes like your computer.

There is a recall on the ignition switch... could that be it?
Although the recall states for chiming after key removed/ key fob not working...
Maybe the next time this happens to you, check to see if your keyfob works?

^^^ yeah I was gonna say the same thing... FWIU, the problem is that the key will remove after shutting off the car, but in fact, the key was not turned the entire way to the off position. Therefore it creates the situation where the key will unlock and be removable, but the car's computer still thinks that it's turned onto Accessory.
If it happens again, reinsert the key and make certain it's turned the entire way to 'OFF' and see if that fixes the problem. If you find this to be an issue, print out that TSB that Mazdadude linked to, and take your car into a dealership at your convenience (it's not a critical problem). Explain your problem and have the TSB handy if they have no clue what you're talking about.

Funny that this got bumped up recently. This has just started happening in my 2006. Unfortunately it isn't intermittent - it's every time I turn off the car. I do not have anything plugged into my accessory port right now, so that's not the issue. Looks like I'll have to visit the dealer with that TSB...

I've noticed this happen on mine and it does it when certain items are plugged into the rear 12vdc outlet. Specifically when I plug in my rechargable flashlight in the rear outlet. I guess it backfeeds into the circuit keeping it activated when the ignition is off. I can go back and unplug it and everything turns off again.

figured it out
I had a sub installed a while back and recently took it out but left the wires still hooked up. the power wire was touching the radio wire and feeding power back to the radio. issue solved!
