Hi, Getting stuck when speaking another language usually means being at a loss for words. So you may look the missing word up in a dictionary or work around the problem. Getting stuck in your own language could be a very different thing, and might be due to stage fright, or just being surprised by a question.

I keep getting stuck when I speak Russian, and I also often get stuck when I speak Spanish.
It's a perfectly normal phrase.
Stuck = fixed, like when paper is fixed or affixed with glue/adhesive. Pipes get blocked, and mechanical things get stuck - they don't move because there is a problem; it's jammed, it's stuck.
