'stuck' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'failing edit press' is the wordplay.
'failing' indicates an anagram.
'edit'+'press'='editpress'
'editpress' with letters rearranged gives 'PERSISTED'.

'gets' is the link.
