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))))
`----

Best,
