Yes, "squeeze" is commonly used to mean putting or fitting multiple things into a small space. It is especially commonly used with "up" or "in." Ex: The train was very crowded this morning. Everybody was squeezed up against each other. Ex: I didn't want to bring a suitcase on my flight, so I squeezed all my things into my backpack.
