Is this sentence correct Hardly I had started out on the journey when the car broke down?
The adverb could be next to the verb had.
But while "Hardly had I started out on the journey, when the car broke down" has creative strength, it is still splitting the verb (had started out) and ideally should be written:
"I had hardly started out on the journey when the car broke down."
(This eliminates the need for the comma as well.)

*Note on when/than with hardly: some English sources suggest than if the sentence is inverted as in the first example, while others insist that this is incorrect and than should only be used for comparisons, not for time.
