I don't think there is an out-of-the-box way to do this today.  You can
add a hook to org-clock-out-hook that checks if you are completing a
capture and clock that task in again.  This might work okay if you
always want to do that.

My solution to this problem is just to clock in the interrupted task
again with F9-SPC.  Capture clocks in the capture task and clocks out
when it is filed, and the following function switches the clock back to
the last (captured) task.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> SPC") 'bh/clock-in-last-task)

(defun bh/clock-in-last-task ()
  "Clock in the interrupted task if there is one
Skip the default task and get the next one"
  (interactive)
  (let ((clock-in-to-task (if (org-clock-is-active)
			      (if (equal org-clock-default-task (cadr org-clock-history))
				  (caddr org-clock-history)
				(cadr org-clock-history))
			    (if (equal org-clock-default-task (car org-clock-history))
				(cadr org-clock-history)
			      (car org-clock-history)))))
    (org-with-point-at clock-in-to-task
      (org-clock-in nil))))

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Regards,
Bernt
