If the brake lights are staying on when you shut the car off, they are staying on when you are driving too. The easiest way to repair this would be to attach a spring to the brake pedal and run it up to one of the steel braces under the dash. It needs to be heavy enough to pull the pedal back but not so heavy as to make braking difficult. Initially you could probably use a bungee cord to sort out how heavy a spring you would need but I wouldn't trust the cord too long. They can stretch and break without warning. You will likely have to drill a hole in the brake pedal arm to attach the spring. Hope this helps.
I ran a car this way for a couple years without any trouble but I don't remember where I got the spring. The wire for the spring was about 1mm thick and the coil was big enough to slide a pencil into it. Hope this helps.
