Sounds like the door switch is hanging up. Try pushing it in when the door is open to see if the lights go out. If not, it may be corroded & needing replaced. Don't forget, I believe there is a delay switch on the system as well that slowly turns off the interior lights when entering & exiting also. My 85 has this.
