Narrative:

Reporter taxied as initially cleared to taxiway T10. Approaching taxiway T10, reporter was told to continue to hold short at microphone. The position of the hold lines were such that, at night, the reporter held short too far from runway 32 at microphone. The tower wanted the reporter to pull up to the runway 32 at microphone, but phrased the clearance to lead the reporter to think he was supposed to go to the end of runway 32 which involved crossing runway 27. The controller, seeing the reporter on runway 27, told him to hold there and was departed from runway 27 intersection with 32.
