I don't understand how you can be stuck in a meeting. You're an independent business director aren't you? You can come and go as you please

what's the etiquette for getting into a lift where someone has broke wind and departed

If you use the lift and it stops at other floors do you acknowledge the smell but say "it's not one of mine" ?

or pretend not to notice?

or should you get out and await the next lift?

Get out and await the next lift. Same goes for train carriages, and any other enclosed space.
