One way would be to give the car no fuel.  Set the fuel slider all the way to the left or in the init line of the car type "this setfuel 0".  Give the car a name.

Place a trigger:
condition: vehicle player == nameofcar
activation: nameofcar setfuel 1

It would but what if the player doesn't go to the waypoints in the correct order?  It would work ok if it was the first waypoint.

It is better not to use waypoints for the player.  Veteran mode players can't even see the waypoints, for one thing.

Make a trigger, axis': 0,0
Type: None (if this won't work, try Switch)
Condition: player in nameOfTheCar

And synchronize (F5) the trigger with the cars waypoint in which you want the car to wait for you...

Should work,
But not giving any guarantees  :P
