The most common way of achieving this is limp-wristing the gun. I have never heard it used in regards to a round getting stuck in a barrel.
The type of malfunction you wrote about is where a round "squibs." The charge isn't sufficient for the round to make it out of the barrel and it lodges. The following round slams into the previous round and can cause a bulge in the barrel or even rupture one.
-Just thought this might help.
