This does literally what you asked for

[1] 2 3
This is more likely what you want

It is an artifact of this example that the two results look the same. Here
is a different example
that distinguishes them, and in this example, %in% is probably not right
either. match() would be better.
> x <- sample(100, 11)
> x
[1] 99 76 97 65 20 70 32 6 80 16 51
> y <- c(65, 99)
> y
[1] 65 99
> x %in% y
[1] TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
> x[x %in% y]
[1] 99 65
> which(x %in% y)
[1] 1 4
> mm <- match(y, x, 0)
> mm
[1] 4 1
> x[mm]
[1] 65 99

We care because this is only useful if there is more than one column.
> xx <- cbind(x, 11:21)
> xx[mm,]
x
[1,] 65 14
[2,] 99 11
>
> ## compare to
> xx[which(x %in% y),] ## same rows but in wrong order
x
[1,] 99 11
[2,] 65 14
