Default voodoo ignition

My felicia ignition is switching on all by itself, even though the key switch is turned completely off.Has anybody any idea as to why this is happening?Twice I've returned to a completely drained battery and am now having to disconnect the battery every time I park the car.

As no-ones replied yet I'll add my guess. I am guessing a fault with the starter solenoid, or a short in the wiring somewhere (perhaps it only shorts out when rain gets in?)

Ignition switch faults are common on the facelift [chrome grille] cars.
