Tot hanging around this place gets stuck (7)
I believe the answer is:
adhered
'stuck' is the definition.
('adhere' can be a synonym of 'stick')
'tot hanging around this place' is the wordplay.
'tot' becomes 'add' ('add' can be a synonym of 'tot').
'hanging around' is an insertion indicator.
'this place' becomes 'here' (I've seen this in other clues).
'add' going around 'here' is 'ADHERED'.
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for adhered that I've seen before include "Stuck - redhead (anag)" , "Stuck (to something)" , "Showed sticking power" , "Stuck; glued" , "Stuck to, remained loyal" .)
