Let's just say that the car wasn't too happy and threw a fit worse than a 4 year old in a grocery store checkout lane!

a) The car won't turn off
b) You get a flashing warning in the instrument cluster and the multi-display
c) If you thing the "fast" seatbelt buzzer is annoying and LOUD...

Let just say I'll never do that again.
if you hold the button for 3 seconds, you can turn off the engine (I would not recommend it)

Could it be that you were on an upslope (ramp), and the auto trans was doing a "hold in place, so as not to roll backward" function?

Gotta try that one. U sure you did not apply parking brakes? Or maybe because the car did not detect fob - was ur fob in your pocket?
