Does anyone know if the 12v cigarette socket in the boot stays on after the engine is turned off?

I've noticed that there is a delay of several seconds between pulling the stalk to clean the windscreen and any water actually coming out of the nozzles. Is this normal for the new Mk IV? I can hear the pump whirring away, but my wipers have dragged across glass a couple of times before I see any screenwash actually appear.
