Composer locked in hotel garage (5)

I believe the answer is:

elgar

'composer' is the definition.
(Edward Elgar)

'locked in hotel garage' is the wordplay.
'locked in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ELGAR' is hidden within 'hotel garage'.

(Other definitions for elgar that I've seen before include "He scored" , "Glare strangely at the English composer" , "Land of Hope and Glory composer" , "Sir Edward -, English composer" , "Enigma Vars. composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
