Sounds like Becoming the Mask.
A character adopts a disguise as an emergency and then finds himself trapped in that disguise for whatever reason, far longer than the disguise would require.
One Punisher story had a mafioso escape Frank by running through a department store, hurriedly dressed himself as a woman, and made a new life in a quiet suburb for years.
