Default Radio Accessory - Missing the Beat :-)

I've had my new S4 for several weeks now and seem to be unable to find the ignition key position that will allow for the radio to be played while the motor is off. Is there not an "Accessory" position where the radio may be played without activating the other systems?

The radio works without a key in the ignition.

Default Ok, but how do you get the radio to stay on when you turn the engine off?

Without having to turn the radio back on again?

That unfortunately I don't know how to do. I'd rather it turn off when i turned the car off.
