I replaced my slave cylinder and added a remote bleeder. When I tried to bleed my clutch it acted almost the same as yours. The pedal got stuck half way up and I finally pulled the pedal up by hand and then I could bled the rest of the air out by pumping the pedal. (don't forget to close the bleeder before the up stroke)
Don't know if your problem is the same as mine, but this worked for me.

I had a hard time bleeding my clutch when I installed the Tik master cylinder and new Luk slave cylinder. Fortunately I also put in a speed bleeder with the line that I ran up to my master cylinder. I ended up using a combination of a vacuum bleeder to get the initial air out of the cylinders and lines and then just the traditional method of having someone pump the clutch and hold while I opened the bleeder. It took an excessively long time but slowly the pedal started getting solid.

clutch wont disengage
update i replaced master, has already new slave luk bought a pressure bleeder pressured it up to 15 psi from master res pushing fluid to slave did like 10 times pumped like 200 times, when i push clutch down i do hear clutch moving like a cm squeaky noise but not enough to release clutch, i cant really turn tires by hand when i do couple inchs engine turns as well,its feels like i need little more pedal to get it, however i did notice that when i put input shaft at first that pp fingers were not even 100% 3 or 4 were higher lower dont know if that may cause it thanks
