I've heard of this before, but it's been a while. I think the server thinks your character is still online, and therefore won't "create a new one" when you log on. Give it a few minutes and it should resolve.
If you log on to an alt, odds are you will see yourself.

If it happens again, do what I used to do back in the ol' days of "You're already online WTF!" WoW:
Log onto an alt that is in the same guild as you are.
Baffle your (stupid) friends as you appear to be dualboxing on one account.
Make fun of your disconnected character in a rude and mean spirited way. Self deprecating humor is always a fun time for everyone.
Wait for your other character to log off, then go back to what you were doing.

I really want to try out number one. =)
I always had a good time doing things like that... When I was playing on a 56K connection, it actually happened to me quite a bit.

There's an easy way to do #1.
Open 2 WoW Clients.
Log into a character on one.
Now log into a different character on the same account on the second client.
Laugh as you appear to be dualboxing until about 1 minute later when the other character will "log out."

Excellent idea... I'll have to try that when I get bored.
On a side note: Your avatar reminded me of the rather stupid Human male joke about the Tauren hiding in the tree...
