When spring arrives, and you have new leaves on that Poison Ivy, spray it with Ortho's Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer. Just use a small spray bottle and cover all desirable plants. If done on new leaves, on a warm day (over 60 degrees), when no rain is in the forecast for the next 12 hours, it will work. If you do not wish to use sprays then keep cutting the emerging stem below the ground - stick your strong scissors through the soil and cut.
