Create the topic like normal, then as keymaster, click the edit link, and on the bottom under the reply form, are links to “Stick topic” or “Stick topic to front”. Click one and you’re done. As keymaster, you can do this for topics created by other people as well. I don’t believe there’s a way to do it when you create a new topic. You need to go in to edit the topic after creating it, then the links are there at the bottom of the page.
