Estoy curioso,

"estamos perdidos en la estación de metro" es lo mismo como; "nos perdemos en la estación de metro" ?

Your first sentence indicates a condition. "We are lost at the metro station."

The second sentence indicates an action. "We get lost at the metro station."

A condition? I don't understand - txustaboy, May 14, 2015
Txusta boy, I think Daniela means that the sentence is taking about a situation: they are lost - FELIZ77, May 14, 2015

Básicamente, el resultado es el mismo.

Pero yo diría: "nos perdimos (pasado) en la estación de metro.

I think that you are learning Spanish, so i'm going to correct your question:

Tengo curiosidad, ¿"estamos perdidos en la estación de metro" es lo mismo que "nos perdemos en la estación de metro"?

Now, about your question, both sentences don't mean the same:

1) Estamos perdidos en la estación de metro -> This action is happening now, You are telling to anybody that you are lost NOW, not tomorrow or this evening, just now.

2) Nos perdemos en la estación de metro -> This sentence without any other words sounds really strange. It looks like a part of a conditional sentence:

Si nos perdemos en el metro, deberiamos preguntar

If we get lost in the subway, we should ask
