If you get exactly what you want and then don't know what to do with it, maybe it's not what you need.
This is a rough spot. Betting the flop and calling a c/r is a little dangerous on a moist board. The turn either completes or brings a lot of draws, and this villain may be willing to go to town. KQ with this stack size seems like a good hand for picking off some bluffs or weaker Kings, but not much else.
Are you willing to stack off with top pair, second kicker? If not, as played, fold the turn. Since you bet so little, it might be a good play. You tried to trap, but your hand isn't strong enough. Any made hand on the turn is killing you (You beat only KJ and AT), and there's so much more to draw that a river could be value or bluff.
This guy is a regular, and you play with him a lot. You took a swing and connected, but he's still up and fighting. He wins this round. Live to fight another day. You're out of this one cheap. Use this hand to set up a future hand where your holdings are a lot stronger.
