If you just want to do a still, not an animation, then what I do is (in Poser):
Export the cloth as a .obj at the relevant frame. Make sure you save the exiting groups, but nothing else (IIRC). Especially make sure not to save as Morph Target!
Delete the cloth.
Collapse the animation by selecting the whole of the relevant frame and moving the entire lot back to frame 1.
Delete all remaining frames by setting the end frame to be 1.
Import the saved cloth (and re-texture it if necessary). The cloth should fit perfectly:-) (I usually don't bother to do proper textures in Poser anyway; what's the point if I'm going to render in Vue?)

Save the resulting 1-frame PZ3.

Then import THAT into Vue (in my case V5I).

It doesn't take long once you get used to it (unless you have a lot of separate clothing, in which case it's up to you to decide if its worth it). But most times it's a lot easier that faffing around with Vue's timeline..

BTW, by saving as a 1-frame animation, Vue doesn't even bother to ask about "import whole animation" etc. Still has the option for "Quarternion Interpolation" tho' which is somewhat redundant..
