Narrative:
While on taxi with ground control, on taxiway J short of taxiway K, before reaching taxiway K, controller said (I believe) 'taxi into position 23, full length. We'll get you out shortly.' my first officer acknowledged and continued with a checklist. I taxied onto runway 23 full length and saw ground frequency active, and figured the same guy was working both frequencys. I switched to tower and heard instructions for someone to go around. I explained, tower said 'don't worry, there was a mix-up.' my first officer and I are certain we heard 'full length,' not sure if we heard the word 'position,' or we may be second-guessing ourselves. We are certain the full length runway 23 instructions never included the words 'hold short.' I checked final, but didn't see the other aircraft at any time.
