This is what the Local channel (chan_local) is for.

If your SIP device is called "myfancyphone", then instead of adding SIP/myfancyphone to the queue using AddQueueMember, add (instead) Local/myfancyphone at members, and then in your dialplan:

[members]
exten => myfancyphone,1,...
exten => myfancyphone,n,...
exten => myfancyphone,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
