As per the rules, if a card like grasp of fate or journey to nowhere exiles a commander, and its owner chooses to put it in the command zone, and the card does not specify which zone it retrieves it from, it will retrieve it from the command zone if it has not been cast since (ie: if it's still the same game object). This is different from cards like Oblivion Ring, which say 'return the exiled card' and thus directly refer to the zone the card is supposed to be in.
This does not currently occur.
