What if your horse doesn't tie well? You would start by taking it out with just a halter and lead rope. Find a place your horse doesn't like to stand. Your horse has to agitated so that you can teach it something. The spot you chose must be safe so the horse doesn't get cut up. Once in a safe place, stop your horse and step about 5 feet in front of it. Most horses will stand for a minute or so then attempt to eat. Don't let the horse eat, because it isn't allowed to eat when tied up.
If your horse steps forward, back it up. If it steps sideways, put it back where it came from. Don't support the horse. It will be your most natural instinct to want tobe next to the horse. Make sure your horse learns something or else the horse won't understand. Continue putting the horse right back where it started, but don't move your feet. This exercise ties into ground tying.

Do you really mean you can't move your feet? How do you move the horse back? What is it tied to?
Horse is usually tied to a post. You use your hands and voice to move the horse back into position.
