I couldn't confirm if these are correct/natural ways to say these...

  1. 待ち行列 : waiting line (queue)
  2. 行列を待っています : (I'm currently) waiting in the line (queue)
  3. 行列を待ってください : Please wait in the line
  4. 行列を作って並んでください : Please make a line and then line up 

Thank you in advance...

Natural sentence about line (waiting)
1 and 4 are correct, but 待ち行列 looks like a technical term of [queueing
theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory). Usually saying 行列 is
enough.

～を待つ is "to wait _for_ ～". Therefore 行列を待っています would mean "I am waiting for
the line," which is not what you usually want to say.

To say "to wait _in_ the line", the particle you need is, unsurprisingly, で.

  2. 行列で待っています。
  3. 行列でお待ちください。 (using the honorific version of 待つ)
