It sounds like you have another problem, besides a sticky switch. It sounds like your solenoid is sticking. I see by your signature this is a diesel. This sticking solenoid may get worse and not stop cranking the engine. I would become familiar with the location of the solenoid and how it works in case it does stick, so you know what to tap on to stop the engine from cranking.
