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.

Is it just one side or both sides?

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