Just a guess
Nailing in slang is having sex. To nail also means to arrets, to trap, so maybe being arrested.

quedar atrapado/a
As we don't have the context, this coversthe widest range meanings for "getting nailed", in any Spanish-speaking environment
1 hr
ser atrapado/pillado
The first meaning is to get caught; e.g. he got nailed by the police, fue atrapado por la policia. It's not quite 'arrested'. E.g. he got nailed with the wrong girl, etc. So it's to get caught in the widest meaning of the word. I never heard of the sex meaning mentioned, and it doesn't appear in Google:
got nailed for a bogus ticket.... Microsoft got nailed ....

SER ATRAPADO HACIENDO ALGO INDEBIDO
Cuando alguien es "nailed" quiere decir que ha sido atrapado haciendo algo incorrecto o indebido y que por lo tanto hay pruebas fehacientes del hecho. Por lo tanto "to get nailed" quiere decir, "fue atrapado".
Suerte!
