sandwiched
Stuck in between
Sandwiched means positioned or squeezed between two other things.
The image comes from the filling pressed between slices of bread.
A person can be sandwiched between two others on a crowded bench, or a meeting can be sandwiched between appointments: I sandwiched a quick lunch between calls.
The word often suggests being uncomfortably compressed or fitted into limited space.
