Narrative:
We were cleared into position runway 27 to hold behind a landing air carrier a flight. After taxiing into position, tower told us to exit runway to the right. As we started forward the tower again told us to exit to the right immediately due to landing aircraft on short final behind us. I elected to make an immediate right turn off the runway to comply and protect passenger. We found ourselves with nose and fuselage off of runway, but main gear still on runway. Due to apparent lack of weight bearing surface we did not go further forward. In summary, to protect people and aircraft and to comply with tower's request to exit runway immediately 'to the right.' we moved all but the empennage of our aircraft from beneath a landing air carrier B jet. The air carrier B jet was told to go around on very short final.
