Well, save-excursion does restore the current buffer but is not
switching to it. Executing
,----
| (progn
| (save-excursion
| (org-capture-goto-last-stored))
| (princ (current-buffer)))
`----
in *scratch* tells me that the current-buffer after the excursion is
*scratch*. What you are looking for is saving and restoring the
windows configuration (visible buffers in a frame).
C-h f save-window-excursion RET
This should do the trick:
,----
| (progn
| (save-excursion
| (save-window-excursion
| (org-capture-goto-last-stored))))
`----
