How much current do you need? The LT3503 buck converter will do 1A and has
a shutdown pin. There are Maxim parts that use external FETs and also have
a shutdown pin.
If you have your heart set on a linear regulator, you might be able to use
an adjustable one and drive the ADJ pin to 5V to shut it off.

Have the bulletin on fix these problems and problem is that I cannot
get this part easily here. Switchable off and on adjustable
regulator set for 3.3V in 5 pin SMD flat pack with heatsink tab.
The part number PQ20WZ51, marker: Sharp.
I can make a 3.3V regulator but best way to switch it off or on (fet
or transistor with low gate/base current? Data sheet for this
regulator is available had to dig inside sharp semiconductor area
even with google didn't find to find out what I need to rig the power
control side.
