You can't really "stop" a cylinder at an arbitrary middle point. There are three-position pneumatic cylinders, but they are three specific positions.
It is possible to remove pressure from both sides of the cylinder so that it isn't being pushed to one side or the other by the air. At the same time, however, it isn't going to resist being moved by external forces.
