Had this happen to me last night. I thought something was just sitting on W (because I was moving my laptop, with mouse/headset/phone/ipod sitting on the keyboard) but after moving my stuff and pushing buttons and my character kept running. Figured she was training for the Cyrodiil 5k.

I've had this bug a lot, I figured out just tap the direction key you are running and it will stop. (so if you keep running right hit d and you will stop)
I can think of a few reasons:
Something on the key. Don't laugh, happens more then you think.
The keyboards sensors are not properly working and still registering the key as "down" even though it is up. Generally it is the releasing of keys that fires the action. Key Ghosting and Jamming
You have a wireles keyboard and some interference in the Radio ways (this has been reported with other Keyboard and mouse related bugs). Also check the batteries (of course).
Misscomunication between client and server. Basically you client registered stop of autorun, but somehow the server did not get it. And server overrules client in such maters. This should only happen if you already experience lag overall.
If you think anything I or somebody else said violates the Rules of this Forum, you are free to flag my posts. Till I get any notifcaion from this, I just asume you know you have no case against me or Zenimax disagrees with you.
I get this every now and then. I thought it was my keyboard at first, but it doesn't happen in other games, typing, etc. I don't have auto run bound to anything, nor do I use a wireless keyboard.

It happens all the time for me. But it seems like going to a small location completely whitout lagand stay there a while, then moving to larger area (like a building) and finally going back into the wide world of Tamriel. This often works for me.
