Sounds like you're on Windows, so it's probably this bug:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2189

Although: if you're trying to get at the arrow keys from the Windows
cmd console, it's not possible by reading stdin; rather, you need to
access the lower-level Win32 console APIs:

Not sure if it will help, but you could take a look at what I did in Haskeline:
