In general the saying "like a square peg in a round hole" means: your trying to make something go where it cant go, like a square peg in a round hole will never fit.
An example would be to try and replace the space shuttle with a 747 airplane. It just can't happen. The 747 is the square peg, the space shuttle is the round hole. The 747 cannot replace the space shuttle therefore it won't fit the round hole.
I hoe may example helps clarify your question.

Howdy Jacub,
It simply means what it says: Square pegs don't fit in round holes. So when someone says this, they just mean that whatever they are saying it about doesn't fit in.
Example: A lineman from the football team in the chess club fits like a square peg in a round hole. (Most of the time, there are exceptions.)
