I think the writier probably means physically 'stuck' tightly, thereby unable to free him/herself.

means;
This/the man said I/he was stuck so firmly that I/he was unable to return (to wherever I/he had come from).
I/he was prevented from returning because I/he was stuck.
Maybe his/my head was wedged between two rocks, and I/he could not free myself/himself.

hey thanks for your replies,
acc to the context of the story he din struck any where, i think he basically means that he was very tired and so he didnt wanted to go , or couldnt go, may be he is just metaphorizing tiredness.
