Scratch

When (P key) pressed
if <(Play/Pause) = [1]
 Set (Play/Pause) to [0]
end
if <(Play/Pause) = [0]>
 Set (Play/Pause) to [1]

Then have all of your stuff set up so:
if <(Play/Pause) = [0]>
Make all of the keys that control your sprite don't do anything
end
if <(Play/Pause) = [1]>
Have all of your keys do what they want.
end

Oops. I messed up.

When key [p v] pressed
forever
 if <(Play/Pause) = [1]>
  Set [Play/Pause v] to [0]
 end
 if <(Play/Pause) = [0]>
  Set [Play/Pause v] to [1]
 end
end

Then have all of your stuff set up so:

 forever
  if <(Play/Pause) = [0]>
  Make all of the keys that control your sprite don't do anything

  if <(Play/Pause) = [1]>
   Have all of your keys do what they want.
  end
end

Fixed

 code of your sprite

Simpler and avoid pause spaz.

that's what I meant...

Small improvement, because as far as I know the when key pressed hats work like the when I recieve hat blocks in that they restart whenever the key is pressed (even if it is waiting) so if you put

forever
if <key [p v] pressed? >
set [pause v] to (( 1 ) - (pause))
end
wait until <not <key [p v]pressed?>>

under whatever hat block starts the bit of your game that you want to pause that should hopefully work better.
Also if your script is very long / slow it would be better (although a bit lengthy) to put:

if <(pause) = [0]>
first block of your code
else
if <(pause) = [0]>
second block of your code
else
if <(pause) = [0]>
third block of your code
else
if <(pause) = [0]>
fourth block of your code
else
if <(pause) = [0]>
fifthe block of your code
else
end
end
end
end
end

Another way you could do it is:

when gf clicked
set [pause] to [false]

when [p] key pressed
set [pause] to [true]
wait until <key [p] pressed>
set [pause] to [false]

hope this works
