which one to use - "situation in" or "situation where "

I don't understand which one to use - "a situation in" or "a situation where" ? to me both are same and one can replace the other. I know both are different.. I need to understand where to use which one ? Examples would help me understand better.

The comparison and contrast would be between ' a situation in which' and ' a situation where '. The dictionary gives slightly different definitions to 'situation' --some having more to do with conditions and circumstances in relation to a location, others with conditions and circumstances related to a given moment in time. Describe a situation where you had to work with a difficult person .
