Narrative:

After landing, tower requested a turn-off at T4 high speed taxiway (3 times). Upon reaching taxiway T4, there were numerous planes in line, thus blocking a complete clearance of the runway. We then heard tower clear a bae-146 for takeoff. We then clearly told the tower we were not clear of the runway. He said ok and issued the clearance again. We saw the aircraft depart uneventfully. However, we were not over the runway clearance line and we were not completely on the taxiway due to congestion from departing traffic.
