Wiggle position expression: How to stop and freeze?

How do I stop and freeze after using the wiggle position expression? 

 

I tried to use "toggle hold keyframe" but nothing happened.

 

Any thoughts?

Aside from what Andrew said, you may want to read this:

You will run into exactly this issue. You may be able to animate the amplitude, but will lose any actual position info and using an integration expression will be pretty much unavoidable.

Your screenshot reveals nothing about your expression or what you're animating, but it's probably not important to answer your question.

 

Add an Expression Slider Control to your layer, then link it to either the frequency or magnitude of your wiggle expression.  In my example below, the slider controls the frequency of the wiggle.  Then just keyframe the slider to set the amount you wish to apply.  Obviously a value of 0 will mean no wiggle at all.
