I'm in a winning position and my king is locked in such a way that if the opponent queen checks, I have only one square to escape and upon checking that square, I have to go back to the initial square. Though I had a winning position, it's annoying to draw the game because of this.
I don't think so. I've had more opponents than usual force draws lately and haven't found a way to avoid it aside from blocking them after the match. The same players do things like play in erratic and aggressive ways. They also seem to get really focused on capturing a specific piece (usually a bishop) as though it insulted their mom or something. 😂 It doesn't make for especially fun or interesting game play, and I don't feel like I'm learning anything like I do against stronger players. So yeah, I don't wish to play those specific individuals again.

If there's a way to force triple repetition of position then you don't have a winning position.
You have to be cognizant of king safety and try not to allow the possibility.
