But the brake lights work as they should when the car is running. It is only a problem when the car is turned off.

Possibly a defective brake light switch up above the brake pedal. It may be stuck telling the car that the brake pedal is depressed.

Would a bad/rusty ground on that circuit turn the lights on when the car is off?

No, it’s the bottom bulbs that stay on.

If one side, check the turn signal stalk - it will cause the rear light to stay on..
