Ignition switch is suppose to be safety override which overrides the door switch. That means that if the ignition is on and the door is closed the step retracts regardless of switch position.

As far as the step acting weird and closing on it's own that almost always a result of lower battery or corroded ground wire. When the battery gets low or wire gets corroded the step will occasionally act like it's possessed.
Hope this helps.
