Is it the starter motor cranking the engine or run-on? Fuel injected engines don't usually have the run-on problems that carburetted cars have because both the fuel and ignition are shut off with the key. Run-on is usually caused by carbon deposits that get hot enough to ignite fuel in the cylinders after the ignition is switched off, since carbs work on engine vacuum and don't need electricity this is a common problem with them.
The only other possibility is that there is still power to the fuel injection after the ignition is shut off and it is still supplying fuel.
It sounds like you should replace the ignition switch and use a fuel addidtve that will clean out carbon deposits.
