Yup, it's "k" in the Agenda that you want. First, set up your
org-capture templates appropriately. I've got one for exactly this
purpose that looks like:

("e" "Event" entry (file "~/org/schedule.org")
 "* %?\n%^T")

Any capture template that has one of the "t/T" expansion elements will
default to the date under point in the Agenda. So after step 3 above,
hit "k", choose this template, and it will help you fill in the correct
information. "C-c C-c", and you're done. You actually never have to look
at the agenda.org file.
