I believe the answer is:

round-up

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

'standing after stage' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'of competition in summary' is the subsidiary indication.
'of' becomes 'o'.
'competition' becomes 'run' (run is a kind of competition).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'summary' becomes 'dup' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o' inserted within 'run' is 'roun'.
'roun'+'dup'='roundup'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for round-up that I've seen is " Summary of events".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
