Usually it means the tail of the shirt is not tucked into the pants.

You can also "tuck into" a meal, meaning eating heartily.

In "Forrest Gump", Sgt. Dan told Bubba that he'd better "tuck that in" referring to his bottom lip. So, he pulled it in. Whatever is hanging out, pull it in. That's what "tuck that in" means, IMO.

Ooops. That's Lieutenant Dan, not Sargent Dan.
