Pulled or kicked out of the way (5)
I believe the answer is:
towed
'pulled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'kicked out of the way' is the wordplay.
'kicked' becomes 'toed' (I've seen this before).
'out of' is an insertion indicator.
'the way' becomes 'w' (Compass direction - West).
'toed' enclosing 'w' is 'TOWED'.
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for towed that I've seen before include "Dragged behind" , "drawn" , "Helped when powerless" , "Pulled along" , "Hauled" .)
