We do not have this problem anymore, but did have it before we installed a different shut off. When I changed to a Oxyenics shower head, I did not like the twist head shut off and like all others, it did not shut off 100% of the flow. So by recommendation from the vendor that I bought the shower head from, I installed an in-line shut off valve that is a ball valve. I installed ours to the faucet and then attached the hose for the shower head to it. This shuts off the water with no drip which saves water. At the same time, it solved the problem of getting a shot of cold water when you turn the water back on using this valve. That is, as long as no one runs hot water from another faucet while it is shut off. You can find these valves at almost any hardware store or Camping World in chrome finish.
