Car presently has a learner inside (6)
I believe the answer is:
saloon
'car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'presently has a learner inside' is the wordplay.
'presently' becomes 'soon' ('soon' can be a synonym of 'presently'**).
'has' is an insertion indicator.
'learner' becomes 'l'.
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'soon' enclosing 'a' is 'saoon'.
'saoon' placed around 'l' is 'SALOON'.
(Other definitions for saloon that I've seen before include "Car; public room" , "US bar - type of car" , "Lounge bar" , "Boozer or shape of car" , "Bar or shape of car" .)
