[Tex/LaTex] Adding figure in framed or shaded environment

floatsframedwrapfigure

I am currently using the shaded environment from the framed package for large calculation digressions in my papers. 

\usepackage{framed}
\newenvironment{digression}[1]{\begin{shaded} \noindent\textbf{\sc {#1}\\} }{ \end{shaded} } % or snugshade
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{0.9}

Unfortunately, when I try to include a figure within such a digression, I get the error ! LaTeX Error: Float(s) lost.

I'm using tikz right now, but ideally I'd like it to be in a wrapfigure since it's such a small figure..

Since figures are floating in nature, you can't use them inside a static environment. But the reverse can be done as in:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{framed,graphicx,xcolor}

\begin{document}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{0.9}

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{shaded}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{example-image-a}
\end{shaded}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
