I believe the answer is:

stall

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

'stand' is the definition.
(I know that stand can be written as stall)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for stall that I've seen before include "(Of engine) stop running; booth" , "Hang back" , "A stand in a market-place" , "Seat - prevaricate" , "outlet at a fair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
