I believe the answer is:

parcelled

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

'wrapped up' is the definition.
'parcelled' can be an answer for 'wrapped' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'up' bit.

'leper clad in shreds' is the wordplay.
'in shreds' is an anagram indicator.
'leper'+'clad'='leperclad'
'leperclad' anagrammed gives 'PARCELLED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for parcelled that I've seen is " wrapped".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
