I believe the answer is:

out on a limb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'isolated position?' is the definition.
'out on a limb' can be an answer for 'isolated' (out on a limb can mean isolated or unsupported). I'm not certain of the 'position?' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for out on a limb that I've seen before include "questionably placed" , "Wing-walking" , "Exposed, vulnerable" , "In a precarious position" , "Alone and in danger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
