Narrative:

I was doing night lndgs at mht. The first was to a full stop on runway 24. After landing, I stopped on runway and told tower controller that I wanted to taxi back for more full stop lndgs. He had me do a 180 degree turn on the runway and taxi back to intersection a and hold on the runway west of runway 35 which is an intersecting runway. He then cleared me for takeoff from intersection a on runway 24. At left downwind midfield, I called tower and was cleared for the option. I landed on runway 24, stopped, did a 180 degree turn and started back-taxiing. The controller told me to expedite my back taxi to intersection a since there was traffic on short final to runway 24. When I was clear of the active, the controller asked what I was doing since he had not cleared me to do a back taxi with the 180 degree turn. Thinking back, he was correct he had not cleared me. I feel that the situation of the first landing set the stage for my missing the situation on the second. Since I received the clearance on the first landing I fell into the trap of reacting the same way on the second. The clearance for a 180 degree turn back taxi from the first landing stuck in my head for the second. I need to make sure that every landing is treated as a separate occurrence and be more alert for clrncs.
