...you look packed in, extra blankets in the trunk, no, no more talking, I’ll leave you to it now.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
What does 'packed in' mean?
Can it mean 'exhausted'?
 
It might. Without the entire sentence, and the surrounding context, it's not possible to say for certain. Is there some reason why that person would be exhausted?
