I know the Garmin 530W will lead you through a published hold, such as on
the missed approach, but is there any way to get it to lead you through an
ad hoc en-route hold, like when ATC tells you to hold at a certain VOR?

It looks like if I hit the OBS button it will stop sequencing, but what
can I do then?

If it is not a published hold in an approach you are on your own.

You can get it to draw the inbound course by turning the OBS knob,
that's not as good as the entire hold, but it is some help.

The 480 does a much better job with this, it will draw a hold at any
arbitrary waypoint.
