Narrative:
Preflted airplane. Had to wait 15-20 mins for fuel truck. Fuel truck parked 4-5 ft directly in front of aircraft. Airplane refueled and credit card gas payment done. Sat in pilot seat getting flight material arranged and gas truck drove away. Perhaps 5 mins after paying, started engine, contacted ground, got permission to taxi and moved airplane approximately 4-5 ft and ran into ladder left on ground by gas truck in front of airplane. This resulted in propeller strike.
