Narrative:
I was instructed to taxi to runway 22R. I taxied and found my position to be at runway 22L. The ground controller told east that I was between runways 22R and 22L. He turned me around and cleared me for takeoff on runway 22R. I do not recall crossing any hold lines and thought runway 22L was runway 22R.
