I believe the answer is:

interim

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

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

'bury that man after guillotine' is the wordplay.
'bury' becomes 'inter' (synonyms).
'that man' becomes 'm'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'guillotine' becomes 'i' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'm' after 'i' is 'im'.
'inter'+'im'='INTERIM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interim that I've seen before include "Meanwhile" , "Temporary - provisional" , "An intervening period of time" , "Meantime; temporary" , "Meantime - provisional" .)
