Narrative hand waving. Not aware of a written critter statblock with a "penetrate body" ability, but at the end of the day, when you grow probably the same thing would happen that happens if you enlarge and become too big for a Giant Toad to swallow? Which again isn't 100% spelled out, but probably just comes down to "you emerge in an adjacent square."
Hypothetically anything could happen, up to and including chest bursting aliens. In reality, your DM is probably not going to let you go Ant Man mode to instakill enemies with a basic ability.
The Monster Manual and DMG have 2 possible solutions to this:
you could treat it like the same mechanics that the Tarrasque (MM p.286-7) uses to swallow, but scaled down to whoever swallowed the druid, or
use the "inside an object" (as in the Daern's Instant Fortress) mechanic from the DMG, where both would take force damage based on their size: most likely 1d10 if they were both medium humanoids.
I think I'd probably rule that it works like most of the spells that are similar: the other creature is safely ejected to the nearest available square (possibly after taking some amount of damage).

Even if just to prevent abuse, I would go with this too.
Apologies for the obscure thread title and/or if this has been answered before.
Hypothetically, a wildshaped druid (worm or fly maybe?) enters another creature's body. Then de-wildshapes. What happens?
I would say what ever your inside of would open up. The experience would probably kill or seriously injure the caster as well. Over all very messy in any event

There are enough examples in the rules where this is explicitly not how it works that to rule this way would be a serious mistake. Trying to make some game feature (a utility/combat buff) into something else (instant death 2x short rest) is not good game design, good rulings, or generally fun for anyone else.

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.
I thought it must have been covered somewhere before: https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/73348/what-would-happen-if-somebody-ate-a-wild-shaped-druid-and-then-the-druid-change?

No DM will let you Ant Man Thanos. You're ejected to the nearest unoccupied space.
