What is wrong with my 1993 Toyota Camry?

Over the past few weeks, my car has been hesitating to start. There was no loss of power once on and since Oklahoma has had a pretty harsh winter, I thought that was affecting the battery, but nothing major. Tonight, though, it started, but when I got to where I was going, I turned the car off and took the key out, but it was still on? Nervous, I started it back up and went back home. On the way, I noticed the E-brake light was on, but I had not depressed the e-brake. Once home, I turned the car off, again, and it was still on. I started it back up and turned it off again...it putted out and was smoking a lot! Smelled terrible! I raised the hood to see what was smoking and from what I saw (under the hood, in the manual, and online) I think it's the distributor. Is that right? What's with the staying on after I turned it off?
