stripe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'journey into interior of quarter' is the wordplay.
'journey' becomes 'trip' (trip is a kind of journey).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'interior of quarter' becomes 'se' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'trip' going inside 'se' is 'STRIPE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stripe that I've seen before include "Chevron; band" , "Military sign of rank" , "Chevron indicating rank" , "promotion, maybe" , "Priest (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
