Two ways: (1) regular crucifixion and (2) forced penetration of the internal organs by pressing a living person down on a stake. The latter was seen as a particularly painful and horrific death, involving a sadistic assault on human dignity as well as an agonizing death. From this perspective, Vlad the Impaler writes a chapter in the history of psychopathic sadism. But he is more significant than that. He is one of many tyrants in history, through to Hitler and Saddam Hussein (deaths in acid vats) that devised new, or more widespread methods of execution of their presumed enemies and victims with the calculated intention that the horror and monstrosity of the deaths inflicted (often deaths that were visited on familly members as well as the opponent himself) was intended in part to become known so that the horror itself would intimidate people and help prevent widespread internal resistance to the tyrant.

He used steaks in the ground,sharp at the end and rooted in strong enough to support a man. The broader more interesting question is why did he impale? Some may be surprised. Who was Vlaaaad Draaacuuula fighting?

If Vlad was alive; today, who do you think he would be fighting along side of?

History lesson later. I'm going to eat my steak now.

And I like my steak bloooooooody!

The same way you give someone a suppository. Replace suppository with solid timber pole with very pointy end, apply sufficient force - there you are.
