Can you help me convert a field value extracted by a rex command to another date time format?

Hello Community,

I have certain field values extracted by using rex command. The timestamp format of the field value is in ISO 8601.
For example -

lgk":"2018-09-24T04:41:54Z"

I need to convert it in the following format

%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S %p

I tried using strftime but that doesn't work. Gives blank results. Can somebody please help me with some pointers?

Thanks,
-Ameya
