eletrical question

well here in nj they passed a law about no driving while on a cell phone...so I picked up one of those hands free speaker sets for my cell phone...it plugs into the cigerrate lighter for power...all works fine but when I turn the car off I have to unplug the speaker because the light stays on...even if my phone isn't plugged in and the car is off why does it continue to get power???

Doesn't the cigarette lighter still work when the car is turned off?
