Sorry, I think I was having a shower when you called. Действие уже происходило в момент звонка.
Was Lola standing outside when it started to rain? Длительное действие прерывается начавшимся дождём.
When the car crashed into us, we were waiting at the traffic lights. Столкновение — короткое событие, ожидание — фон.
Fortunately, we weren’t skiing when the bad weather came. Катание могло продолжаться в момент наступления плохой погоды.
