I don't think it has anything to do with you stalling it.
It sounds more like a loose wire or contact, possibly in your ignition lock. How tight of a fit is the key? Is it snug, or does it feel like there is a lot of slack?

Could be a worn ignition switch, also could be a bad fuse connection, I would look at and clean all fuses, be sure they fit tight.

its not a bad connection or a bad ignition... it has to be a relay or something.... it only stops working under these conditions... if i drive to work its fine.... when i go home its fine... its only when stalled or when i try to go somehwere right after i park it.... i was just wondering if this problem was normal, and if someone knew where the relay was so i can replace it or somethin.....
