Well, that's an usual pattern: search something using a lax regexp,
discard false positives with parser, and return a specific value:
(let ((clockstart
(org-with-wide-buffer
(org-back-to-heading t)
(let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading)))
(re (concat "^[ \t]*" org-clock-string)))
(catch :found
(while (re-search-forward re end t)
(let ((element (org-element-at-point)))
(when (eq (org-element-type element) 'clock)
(throw :found
(org-timestamp--to-internal-time
(org-element-property :value element)))))))))))
...)
I should probably rename `org-timestamp--to-internal-time' to
`org-timestamp-to-internal-time' if it is useful out of org.el.
