Awkward is generally used in a situation where you feel inadequate, uncomfortable or self-aware.
For example:
"I feel awkward when a pretty girl smiles at me. I blush, look down and shuffle my feet".
"I feel awkward in these clothes. They're too tight."
"That guy was exposed as a liar. It was an awkward moment for him."
Just my 2 cents. 
I cannot see "awkward" without thinking of an "auk". As in the earlier post, awkward is often used for personal feelings to mean feeling clumsy, inadequate, stupid, chagrinned, unattractive, etc. It is also an adjective and adverb - awkward = ungainly, unwieldy, unhandy. If you are inexperienced with certain tools, you will find it awkward to use them. Many teenagers go through a phase of looking coltish and awkward . Holding a paint can and brush and climbing a ladder is awkward. Like that.
