Just make this, and hot spots/ expected taxi route part of your approach brief.
I used to work ATC at an airport with close parallel runways. The hold short for one runway came before the clear line for the other. When landing on the "outboard" runway, pilots were reluctant to taxi far enough to clear the landing runway. Sometimes they would just stop not clear for fear of an incursion of the parallel without saying a thing. My technique (if I had time) was to inform the pilot that he would have to cross the second line to be clear of the landing runway.
