Sat badly in toboggan that hurt (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slouched

'sat badly' is the definition.
(to slouch is to sit with bad posture)

'in toboggan that hurt' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'toboggan' becomes 'sled' (toboggan is a type of sled).
'that hurt' becomes 'ouch' (expression of pain).
'sled' going around 'ouch' is 'SLOUCHED'.

(Another definition for slouched that I've seen is " Walked or sat with droop".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
