This is not a common problem in Deloreans. I would start with the ignition switch, maybe it has damaged contacts in it allowing the current to continue to flow after it has been turned off. There is always the possiblity that the wiring in your car has been modified, maybe a remote starter was installed and is malfuntioning? This could be a serious safety concern. A temporary shut-off measure would be to trip the inertia switch, killing the fuel pump. It won't shut everything down but it will stop the motor.
