I need to turn on a number of pistons immediately adjacent to each other at the same time. I've been messing around with it all day yesterday and today and I've gotten a couple of different ways, but they're all very messy and cluttered, go all over the place. If someone who knows what there doing would be kind enough to help would be much appreciated.

I'm trying both, where the pistons are stacked on top of each other, and making up the floor.
Although, I do have some problems. @ Forever A Troll, I don't understand at all what you're trying to do. And @Shpaget, I'm still not sure how the lower pistons are powered. I just lopped redstone around the two bottom blocks. But whenever I turn it on only 9 of the 12 pistons come on and I just have to place a block next to one of those which didn't turn on for it to work.
The redstone on the grass (which I placed just now) is not there to power the lower row of pistons. They are powered by the middle redstone line, but it seems that the lowermost one seems to be necessary to update the block:
Yeah that's the problem I encountered as-well. It's almost like it's not consistent.

Yes... but, the middle block would stop the power from the redstone below it.
You're looking at it the wrong way. This is a cross-sectional view, with the redstone going towards the screen. Behind it, you would join all the redstone together into one wire, and in front of it, place the pistons.
The bug posted by Shpaget isn't an issue with this design.
I don't understand the dimensions at all then. Could you provide a picture? please?

The mossy cobblestone cancels everything out.
