Default Auto stalling?

Hey, I've got a '96 Civic CXi auto and lately when I've been stopped at traffic lights etc, it's stalled on me. When I turn the key off and start it again, it starts first thing. Any idea what could be causing this?

Clean the IACV, and make sure the cooling system is full. If it stalls again, before restarting confirm that the "oil" and "battery" lights come on (as they should any time the key is on but the engine is not turning). If they don't you may have a bad ignition switch.
