Narrative:

Invitational fly-in at moose lake, mn, airport (mzh). Upon landing rollout, I noticed I had another cessna aircraft landing behind me. Not knowing how close behind he was, I continued my rollout to 75 ft short of end of runway. Then, I turned my aircraft 180 degrees to my left, and parked to the right side of the runway as far as I could. The aircraft that was following me, proceeded to the end of the runway and made his 180 degree turn (MHZ has runway with no taxiway) and also parked. A mooney, waiting for takeoff, requested takeoff permission, and I responded that I would wait at my present parked position until he cleared his takeoff, which was well to my left. I back-taxied to tie-down area where I was approached by an FAA safety inspector who wanted my side of the incident. I did express to the inspector that a parallel taxiway would prevent this from happening.
