Why does your heart rate not return to normal as soon as exercise finishes?

Just as your heart rate requires time to elevate during fitness exercise, it also requires time for its rate to decrease after exercise. For a while after you stop, your cardiovascular system is still working hard to get oxygenated blood to your muscles. The higher your degree of fitness, the faster your heart rate will return to normal.
