On landing in PHL on [Runway] 27R we followed a B757 and experienced wake turbulence in the flare. This extended our touchdown in the touchdown zone. We were in reverse and slowing when ATC told us to exit and turn right onto Kilo to the gate. I advised them that we missed the right 90 turnoff and ATC advised us to hurry down to the next right turnoff which turned out to be K5. We kept our speed up on the runway and were slowing to try to hurry and exit at K5 for traffic on final. At this time we were given taxi instructions again. The clearance was right on Kilo and hold short of Tango. I answered as we were distracted by slowing in a hurry to turn off. I answered to turn right on Kilo like our first taxi instructions; but I am not sure if I acknowledged the hold short. As we taxied up to the parallel Kilo we saw [the other aircraft] landing and exiting on the high speed. We were short of the high speed and just slowing for [the other aircraft] to exit when ATC told us we were supposed to hold short of Tango. I looked to the left and saw the K4 taxi sign coming up. I knew we had to stop for [the other aircraft] to exit and I guess I thought that the high speed was Tango; not Kilo 4. [The other aircraft] was told to taxi to parking in front of us and then ATC advised us to taxi to parking. We taxied to the gate and we noticed I had forgotten the flaps in my after landing flow due to the hurried exit and answering ATC. The combination of the hurry to exit and answering ATC at the same time probably led to the confusion.
We encountered some wake turbulence (air was completely smooth until the last 50 FT). This did have [some] effect on the landing performance. We did land in the touchdown zone but further rather than closer to the approach end of the runway.
An A320 flight crew reported encountering wake turbulence just before touchdown at PHL behind a B757 that extended their touchdown point and caused some issues with ATC.
