I have seen a few people post with this problem. Never encountered it myself, the lift should continue to run. There have been several posts on jammed lifts, and I have got to the stage of saving before I get on one. Saw one post where the guy reloaded and had no issues the second time. Suggest if you have a recent save that you do the same (by the way, did you look up to spot the alcove in there). If it's too far back you can try holding out for some better answer to your post. Maybe some wandering serpent priest cook strolls in while you are down there and shuts the lift down - who knows.
