My first impulse was to say that it can get stuck as long as the spell is still active, but that this is avoidable by letting the duration expire or by using the normal rules for early cancellation, but given the text, "the force of the blow is transmitted magically," (4e Magic p 144) it's pretty arguable either way IMHO.
