Narrative:
We were on about a 7-mile final for runway xy and called my position on the CTAF frequency. At that time there was an aircraft on a left downwind for runway za that informed me that he would be extending his downwind to ensure spacing for his aircraft. At about 1 1/2 mile final; another aircraft called and asked us how far out were as he wanted to back taxi on runway 09. The PIC informed the pilot we were less than 60 seconds from the runway and we were short final. By what he said; (...wanting to back-taxi on runway 09); we expected that he was at the taxiway on the ramp and wanted to back taxi on the active. As we were crossing the threshold; we could see the cirrus on the west end of the runway parked on the unusable (yellow painted) part waiting for us to land. Knowing that there was another aircraft in the pattern and seeing clearly that we were about 200 feet above the cirrus and safely clear; the PIC chose to go ahead and land. We touched down about 30% down the runway and there was no incident or issue.we both felt that landing well clear of the aircraft was the safer option than making a go-around on runway xy as we did not ever have a visual on the opposite direction down-wind aircraft. The PIC attempted to speak with the other pilot regarding her incorrectly reported position on the field; but he was no longer in the area.

Title: The flight crew of a King Air reported a ground conflict with a Cirrus while landing at a non-towered airport. The Cirrus pilot was holding in an area very close to the runway; making it an unsafe condition.
