Pull up in the regular place (3)
I believe the answer is:
lug
'pull' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'up in the regular place' is the wordplay.
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'gul' is hidden in the letters of 'regular place'.
'gul' backwards is 'LUG'.
(Other definitions for lug that I've seen before include "Pull - ear" , "Drag with effort; ear" , "Drag or carry with effort" , "Drag heavily" , "Drag, haul" .)
