Silly capers can get you in a jam (6)

I believe the answer is:

scrape

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

'you in a jam' is the definition.
'scrape' can be an answer for 'jam' (both can mean a difficult situation). I am unsure of the 'you in a' bit.

'silly capers' is the wordplay.
'silly' is an anagram indicator.
'capers' anagrammed gives 'SCRAPE'.

'can get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Make clean or smooth by passing hard edge across" , "Rake - predicament" , "Capers (anag.)" , "Move gratingly over" , "Rub; (bow and) be humble" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
