Playing defense against a 4H contract....Partner leads a Club, dummy plays a club and I accidentally played the 2 of Spades and Declarer takes the trick with the high Club. I realize my mistake immediately and say," I have a Club and play my 5 of Clubs, with the 2 of Spades becoming a penalty card. Director says to Declarer, " would you like a Spade lead? "

I had never seen this before....Director says Declarer can require the exposed card to be led.....I was surprised, since I didn't take the trick and wasn't going to be on lead......

I am ok if this is the rule, but it surprised me.....

Declarer is on lead. How can they make you lead.
I'm not a director but this sounds like baloney.
Sarcasm is a state of mind

I think the TD was somewhat confused, lead restrictions only apply when the partner of the player with a major penalty card is on lead. The TD is effectively giving declarer the option to make you lead out of turn!

Indeed.
Correct procedure is (after calling the Director):
1: You withdraw your 2 of spades and substitute a club. (Law 62)
2: Declarer may now substitute another club for the one he played to the trick. (Law 62C)
3: Your 2 of spades is now a major penalty card and must be played by you at the first time you can legally play it. (Law 50D1)
4: If your partner obtains the lead while you still have your MPC then Declarer has three options on instructing your partner how to lead. (Law 50D2)

Simple as that.
