Mine did the same thing the other day. I tried smacking it with a hammer to get it unstuck but no luck so i just bought a new starter. Was going to pull old moe apart but haven't got around to it yet.

yup turn key off and was still cranking. So i turned it to the on position and it was still running, so i ran grabbed a wrench and took of the hot lead to the battery and it stopped then just turned off the car. I tried beating on it with a hammer to loosen it up soon as i hooked up the hot lead it started turning again so i said screw it and bought a new one. Check out these guys for one they were 100.00 cheaper than my local part stores. www.dbelectrical.com

I would double check to make sure the trigger wire to the solenoid isnt touching the hot wire from the battery at the solenoid. That would trigger the starter immediately when the battery is connected so probably not it but its worth a shot
