I believe there is a neat trick on the wiki whereby your dialplan has a macro 
for your extensions where ### is the extension (nonrecorded) and then 9### is 
a recorded version of the same extension.  So to start recording, transfer 
the call to your 9### extension and voila.

Why won't you be able to return back?  Hell you could park the call and then 
use a similar trick above to start recording and jump to the parked call I 
think...
