There's also the key, which can be shut off without locking the column, and neutral, which I am skeptical of the lady who stated taking it out of gear didn't help, either.
Electric controled shifter. If the car is at full throttle, the ecm won't let it come out of gear, until it the engine rpm comes down. The newer models have a push button ignition switches, to kill the engine, you have to press & hold the button down for 3-seconds. 3-seconds @ 100MPH, you just covered 44 car lengths. I guess thats ok if no one is front of you.
It seems so easy to blame the drivers.
