Narrative:

Was conducting pilot proficiency flight. Had already conducted two full stop landings on rwy 7. Rolled out and exited the runway at taxiway east. On the third landing we rolled out and exited the same as before at east and was instructed to contact ground as we were returning to parking at our maintenance facility. We had exited the runway being sure to pull forward enough to clear the active runway and stopped. At this point we were informed by the tower that we had crossed the hold line for runway 20 and he had to have an airplane go around. I could not see the runway sign from the right seat because the sign was on the left side. I also could not see the hold line. The captain said the hold line was just at the nose of the aircraft. It was impossible for me to tell if we were over the line due to the height of the cockpit and how narrow the taxiway was. As we pulled away we looked back and you could see there was very little space between the exit of runway 7 and the hold line for 20. It was impossible for us to clear runway 7 and hold short of runway 20 due to the length of our aircraft. We had already been in this position twice and the controller never said anything. The third time he became upset and said we had crossed the hold creating a conflict. We were never instructed to hold short of 20 and it would have been impossible to clear the runway and hold short due to the spacing.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: Pilots reported that after taxiing clear of Runway 7 on Taxiway E at EVB they inadvertently crossed over the hold short lines of Runway 20. The short distance between the runways and poor signage was cited as contributing to the event.
