I have also had this problem. It appears in two different ways for me:

1. When driving in power gear and making sharp power gear turns (not skidding turns), the game begins registering continuous pressing on the arrow key of the direction I am turning in. This somehow only happens in that particular replay, though.

2. Since I spilled coke on my right arrow key, sometimes it thinks I'm pressing it continuously. This is whether I'm racing or manoeuvering the menus or doing something else. Sometimes I try to solve this by pressing the key gently, but normally, for a couple of seconds, then releasing it for some seconds, then continuing this with smaller and smaller intervals (but never very fast). Somehow that sometimes helps.

Sometimes when I shift quickly between arrow up and arrow left or right
the computer reacts like the key left or right is pushed continuosly even 4-5 seconds after I have
let the key go.

Has anyone expierienced likewise, and how to I solve the problem to drive better?

I had this problem since I used external keyboard with XP.

Typical issue of Stunts run under XP directly. It happens to me often when I play at my job during lunch break. With RH races, not a problem, press escape, and rewind the replay to a moment before the issue.
For noRH races, well, it should not happen as you're supposed to race under DOSBox to be able to record the video ;D, and I never had this issue under DOSBox (nor in pure DOS or under Win9x).
