I believe the answer is:

stored

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

'kept for long' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'strode agitatedly' is the wordplay.
'agitatedly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'strode' is an anagram of 'STORED'.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stored that I've seen before include "Squirrelled away" , "Kept for later use" , "Warehoused" , "Stashed away" , "Saved up in Dorset" .)
