Game glitches after dying in nether when crouched with a shield.

When I entered the nether with a shield, I was killed and because I had keep inventory on it respond to me with the shield and my weapon in hand. But I was unable to move and I had my weapon stuck in my hand even when I changed my hot bar. The only way that I have found to fix this is to save an exit then re-enter the game. 

My gear: Iron + gold trim pants, helmet and chestplate. Gold boots with Iron trim. Diamond axe and sheild.

I was killed in the nether and respawned with the bug.
