Justin; PC hardware runs in a form of "Standby" or "sleep" when you soft-off (ie, shutdown or power off by the standard mainboard pin). The reason for this is because of the ATX power standard or some which mandates wake on lan, wake on keyboard, wake on mouse, wake on mouse fart.. etc etc..
If its a fangled intel chipset as well, it will wake on sudden power loss. Ie, you lose power to your house, when it comes back the PC will power back up again@!!
See if you can rig up a switch to the external power source that turns off when your ignition does and connect to a turbo timer or some *Shrugs*
