Narrative:

We were cleared into position on the runway and to expect an immediate takeoff. Just as we pulled up to the runway, tower asked us to hold short. We were already past the hold short line and the forward part of the aircraft was on the runway. We notified the tower and he requested the landing aircraft to go around. The approaching aircraft was approximately 1/2-1 mi out. No problem, but the controller should just slow down.
