Hi Lilo

No, "get stuck to the skin" is not an idiom -- it is simply an incorrect answer for the test sentence. Wet clothing does tend to stick to your body or skin, however.

The correct answer in the test is "get soaked to the skin" which means that your clothing becomes so wet that your skin also gets wet.
