It is a slang term for a bad or troublesome situation.

The expression is "left (someone) in a pickle" and it means that they have been left in a bad situation, or a situation that will be difficult to resolve.

Examples could be:

The robbers used his car in the robbery, which left him in a pickle.

Santa was left in a pickle when the elves went on strike in November.
