ran

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

'got out of the rain' is the definition.
'ran' can be an answer for 'got' (running is a kind of getting). I am not sure about the 'out of the rain' bit.

'in haste i' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'haste' becomes 'rn' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i' becomes 'a'.
'rn' enclosing 'a' is 'RAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Managed; operated" , "was in charge" , "Managed; raced" , "Sped" , "11 on foot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
