I don't have an Auto position and this functionality happens when my switch
is in the On position. (2005 Tiburon GT)

Quite right Eric. I forgot about that. It is just that I open the door
seconds after withdrawing the key.

My experience has been that it doesn't matter if the car has the "auto"
option or not. My car has it and my neighbors does not, and both function
the same using the "on" position.

I had one of these in the shop today and tried it. The lamps did
indeed turn off when the key was removed and the door opened. It
doesn’t matter which order these things occur, but both must happen in
order for the lamps to go out.

If the parking lamps are turned from off to on after those things have
occurred, the lamps will then come on and stay on until turned off or
the key is inserted in the ignition and removed again (and door
opened, if not already)
