Could be the motor mounts. Car could also be "dieseling" still running a bit when you turn it off.

Thats what I was thinking. Honestly I can not tell you how to fix that tho because I have only seen that with diesel trucks, and I have no idea how to fix that. May have to do with timing but thats just a guess. Sorry...

Timing may fix it, hopefully it does. Check to see if your car is running rich. Carbon deposits could have built up in your motor and are still igniting unburnt fuel when you turn the car off.
