I believe the answer is:

routine

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

This clue is a quintuple definition!!

'getting in the way' is the first definition.
'routine' can be an answer for 'way' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'getting in the' bit.

'all' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

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

'the usual' is the fourth definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'procedure' is the fifth definition.
(I know that procedure can be written as routine)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for routine that I've seen before include "Daily agenda?" , "Customary" , "Lacking variety" , "Practice as usual" , "Variety act" .)
