You do realise the car has window opening/closing functionality on the key do you? Here's the relevant excerpt from the manual: (caveat: this is the 05/2007 edition and may not be relevant to earlier cars)

Window convenience operation

You can open and close the electrically powered windows as follows

when unlocking and locking the vehicle (just closing of the sliding roof).

Opening windows with the key

– Turn the key in the lock of the driver door into the opening position

and hold it until all the windows are open.

Closing windows with the key

– Turn the key in the lock of the driver door into the closing position and

hold it there until all of the windows are closed.

You can interrupt the opening or closing operation of the windows immediately by

releasing the key.

If you're not holding it and it still happens it suggests that the contacts that activate this function are sticking perhaps? I've not however read of this problem previously and knowing how interlinked and confusing the operation of the windows and locks is, I'd not be surprised if it's something entirely different. My somewhat different problem (intermittent operation of the windows) turned out to be a loose/dirty fuse...
