Rear Brake Lights wont turn off?

I was driving around town this afternoon and when I parked in driveway and got out, my brake lights were still glowing. My headlights were on when I was driving but I turned them off, I even checked the switch, it was in the off position. So I thought maybe I hit the unlock button on the remote by accident, so I hit the lock button, blinkers flashed but the brake lights were still glowing. So...then I thought maybe it was the brake switch stuck, it wasn't that either, it is actually the same glow you get from the headlights being on. No other lights were on, not the headlights, parking lights, sidemarkers, not even the rear sidemarkers in the housing.What is this? I could not get them to turn off. This happened a few days ago but I got in the car and drove away anyways so it stopped and I thought nothing of it. The only way I got it to stop today was by getting in the car, starting it, and cycling through the headlight position a few times and it finally went away. Anybody else have this problem?
