Let's say I run this cmdelt :
C:\> Get-EventLog Application
This cmdlet takes forever showing events and never stops, is there a certain command or something I can type to stop it and return to my C:\> ?

This depends on the environment you are working in.
Ctrl + C works in the PowerShell console and ISE. I use the PowerGUI script editor and to achieve the same I use Shift + F5.
Hit Ctrl + C to break the cmdlet in process, returning you to the C: prompt.
Ctrl + C
