There is very likely a code being retained in the engine computer. If you are able go to your friendly auto parts store and ask for a complimentary scan for OBDII codes. Most Auto Parts stores will provide this service at no cost. From the scan you will be able with the advice from the parts store determine the most likely culprit for the stalling.

Key won't turn in ignition
this problem is caused by one of the tiny little pins that are used to code the lock getting stuck, u can try getting some powdered Graphite lock cylinder lube to try and free it up, if that doean't do it you will need to replace the ignition lock cylinder, don't use anthing but dry lock lube, WD 40 or any kind of oily spray will make the problem worse in the long run. Lock lube is avil from any hardware store like ACE or Home Depot

2008 Kia Optima turn signals/brake light won't always work
This is probably a bad earth connection, Try checking the connection to the rear light cluster for corrosion around the wiring plug, remove it and clean the connections, also check the bulb fittings, clean and replace bulbs into the holder. This is normally where the problem is, and could be due to water getting into the rear lights, good to check for this too.
