Narrative:
Oct/sat/06; during special ATC control from cid for iow. I departed from parking at a after clearance departure contact and 0210 squawk code and tower frequency. Run up at taxiway B then tower contact. Taxied to taxiway C for departure off runway 12 due to wind. Small low wing (navajo?) taxied from taxiway C to taxiway D; paused then back taxied runway 12 and paused without turning to take off. I back taxied runway 7 to taxiway D and waited on runway 7 for aircraft to depart. Then I heard 'tower are you talking to a (aircraft type) he is blocking me' apparently from aircraft on runway 25 at taxiway east ready to depart. I pull off into the grass and 2 aircraft departed from runway 25. The small low aircraft depart from runway 12. I talk to the tower and confirmed my departure and runway and proceeded to pre departure clearance. I was confused with the taxiing and could have been part of a disaster. The difficult situation with ATC in cid controling iow was apparently not clear to me. In retrospect; I had received ok to taxi and apparently should not have entered runway 7/25 without additional instructions.
