Narrative:

Landed on runway 18R at cvg. We were going to be able to exit at D7. Tower may have thought otherwise and said to exit at taxiway J. As the captain began to make the turn at D7, I stated that tower wanted us to exit at taxiway J. We eased off the turn and proceeded down the runway to taxiway J. Tower then called and said to expedite to taxiway J, traffic on final, taxi north on taxiway D to 8S, contact air carrier ramp. As we exited onto taxiway J, we could not make the left turn onto taxiway D since we would have been head-to-head with a twin piper facing south on taxiway D short of taxiway J. The captain stopped the airplane on the runway side of the hold short line facing east. As I looked left, I saw an airplane on final, about to cross the threshold, and I stated we needed to clear the runway. To clear the runway would put our airplane in the intersection of taxiway J and taxiway D in front of the piper. The captain continued to hold on the runway side of the hold short lines as I tried to contact ground. It took 2 tries to get ground to respond. Ground told us to taxi straight ahead on taxiway J and call air carrier ramp at spot xx. I do not know if the airplane on short final landed or went around nor if the tower was aware of the piper on taxiway D.
