That can't happen. Let me explain why. If you are driving and you stop, your carb bowl is full of gas. It is not possible for that fuel to drain back. It might syphon out into the intake manifold but I don't think so. If the bowl is full, then it ought to at least fire up and then die after it uses up that fuel and if no more is getting into it.
If you told me that it sat for a week or two and then did that, I'd tell you that the fuel evaporated from the bowl and that's a possibility. First off, check to make sure your choke is closing and the choke pull off is cracking the choke plate a bit. If it isn't, manually close the choke and try it and then come back here with a report.
If the choke plate is closing, and it still does that, you'll need to tell us what type of carb you have. Two barrel, four barrel, mechanical choke, or electric choke and you'll also need to tell us if the choke is closing is the choke pull off working. With out this info, no one can help you.
