Narrative:

I was taxiing to my parking area in section X at ZZZ after landing. The controller had approved me to taxi all the [way to] parking; and asked a larger twin to hold in section X and let me pass first. Unfortunately; the twin aircraft was blocking the entry (he was not over the line though); but I couldn't get by him into the parking area. Since coronavirus hit; this was the most planes parked at section X; and I had limited options to enter the area due to the many planes parked on site. I stopped; was thinking what to do and was about to radio to the controller; but the twin pilot radioed first; telling the tower I had stopped and probably wanted the twin to exit first. The controller asked if I wanted to give way; which I agreed...as I basically had no choice if I was to park in section X. The controller then (politely) told me next time to park as that was the direction he had given me. I replied 'roger' and left it at that.if I could do it again; I would have entered section X earlier where there was a gap between parked planes; but that was quite a distance from my hanger; and I would have to maneuver between the many parked planes. Or; should I have radioed earlier that my pathway was blocked and requested the twin exit the area first? I am unclear on the proper procedure in this situation.
