I believe that is the landscape or potrait lock.

double tap the home button swipe left to right until you see the music controls and then hit the first icon to disable.

On iOS 7, to get rid of it, swipe UP from the bottom of any screen, and the lock will be the far right icon on the top, just tap it to turn it on/off
