Ahsan Allahu ilaykum. I went for an appointment at the hospital and I was behind schedule. I used an available elevator only with a man and my four year old daughter. Is this considered khalwa/seclusion? Jazak Allahu khayr

Yes, it is. And sometimes we find ourselves in a position where we're not able to get out of it.
