Not possible with the way the stock wiper works.

No offence, but why would you want the wiper to stop in the middle...?

the only way you can acheive this is:

with car running start the wiper going, when it gets to the required position quickly shut of the ignition thus making it park where you want it.
then go into the iside of the boot and remove the panel on the bootlid. inside you will see a white connector connected to the motor itself. remove this from the assembly, tape it back so it cant touch any body panels and it will then stay where you parked it.
of course you wont be able to use your rear wiper anymore but thats basically your only option without modifying the motor itself/bodge fitting a new motor from another car.

Err Dan. Would it not be simpler to take the arm off, turn it 90 degress and put it back on mate?

What's all this ignition off business?? LOL!

nope.

I did this when ahem I fixed my rear wiper by puting it in the wrong position.
if you accidently turn your rear wiper on because you forget you end up scratching your bootlid
common sense prevails chap

Turn as I said and take the fuse out?

if you remove the fuse for the rear wiper it knocks out allsorts of stuff though which is rather gay if you ask me
