Sorry, I couldn't help it

I understand what you're saying. I never thought "quedar" was a problem for the English speaking people.

I remember when I was starting to learn English the verb that really drove me crazy was "to get". All those uses, all of them different, I was going nuts. Today I think it's the most useful verb in English. So, maybe that will happen to you too with "quedar" even though it's not as useful of "to get".
