When Russian speakers want to say they're trapped in a place with no easy way out, they usually say:
• I'm standing at the bus stop
• I'm standing in line
• I'm standing in the traffic jam
"Standing" is just about the physical action of standing though. As opposed to "sitting," or "lying."
To convey the idea of being trapped, it'd work out better to say:
• I'm stuck at the bus stop
• I'm stuck in line
• I'm stuck in the traffic jam
