Find the frame you want to freeze in the viewer then choose 'Modify > Make Freeze Frame'. That gives you a freeze frame clip in the viewer, drag this out and into the browser to store it. You can then drag it into your timeline.

It's a 2 minute clip with (iirc) a 12 second duration, you can change the default in the preferences if desired.
