When the context indicates time, it's translated as "immediately" or something similar. When the context involves geography, it's translated "straight." The context is that Jesus was going to the desert, so it could be that Mark was indicating he took a straight path to the desert, and translators are incorrect in interpreting it as a time reference in this verse.
