I don't know, but consider this: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/box-seat.html

In the box seat -- an advantageous, superior position. Like in the driver's seat, in the catbird seat. This meaning for "in the box" seems more likely to me than, as the bkgm.com glossary has it under the "box" entry, a "difficult, trying position."
