Oil dipstick mystery

After any amount of driving, my oil dipstick has popped up from the check tube and is hanging sometimes an inch or two above the seated position. The last time it was out so far I could see the metal strip inside the tube. What gives? Does anyone elses do this?? Is my dipstick a jack-in-the-box? Im hoping this isnt from blow-by gasses from the cylinders

Its only got 139K.
