That's how the word pickle is used over here. As in: I was in a right pickle.

That's the same way I've heard it. Interestingly, Pickle is a baseball base-running game that we play in the States. A runner starts between two bases and two players with one ball man the bases and attempt to tag the runner out before he reaches a base. The runner is in a pickle.
