Narrative:

Upon exiting runway, clearance was to turn on taxi B-10 hold short of B. I was not aware that B took a 90 degree jog and as a result I held at position #2. Controller intended for me to hold at #1. Looking at the runway chart it is not readily apparent that B takes a 90 degree jog and the txwys are not properly parked. Suggest an explanation sign posted at taxiway.
