First of all the power steering is not "going out". When the engine is off the power steering pump does not run, and so you have no "power" to the power steering. higher effort in the steering is normal when the engine cuts out.
And be aware that the same is true of the brakes. Without the engine running (the source of vacuum that powers the brake booster) after a few applications of the brakes the vacuum reservoir will be depleted and you will have much higher pedal effort to stop the car.
I agree with Les and dmz, most likely culprit is the ignition switch being accidentally knocked to the off position.
