Could you please give an example or two? Thanks.

The hardest part of learning a language is how to use idioms, especially culture involved, as far as I'm concerned.

Mister Micawber · Answer

Use idioms in casual conversation; use more formal words in writing.

Do you have any more context? In what situation is this said?

In this sentence it is unlikely that "stuck up" means "conceited". Most probably, "I am stuck up here" means that the speaker is "stuck" and is located in a place that is perceived as "up".

"stuck" could mean "unable to move" -- either because of physical impediments (as in "stuck up a tree") or because of obligations ("stuck up here, working in the office"). "stuck" could also mean "unable to make any progress with a task or problem".

"up" could mean in a physically elevated place (such as upstairs in a building), or it could just be used to indicate relative location in an idiomatic or context-dependent way.
