I believe the answer is:

rear

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

'wrong place' is the definition.
'rear' can be an answer for 'place' (rear is a kind of place). I am not certain of the 'wrong' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rear that I've seen before include "Raise - back" , "what can be brought up, finally" , "Of horse, rise up on hind legs" , "Rise up at the back" , "Raise; behind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
