The clock does not stop until you move the state to a DONE state.  My
WAITING state is not a done state so I'm free to move the status from
TODO to WAITING and back without affecting the running clock.

You can also set 'org-clock-out-when-done' to nil to prevent the clock
from stopping when moving to done states as well.

HTH,
Bernt
