If it's rotating you can't very well use it that way. When I have a cork come loose, if it isn't torn, I cut it cleanly with a knife, take it off and apply a fresh coat of contact cement to both the cork and the tenon surface. With contact cement, you wait a few minutes until both surfaces have lost their gloss, then carefully press the cork back onto the tenon.
If the cork is torn and any of it is missing, this won't work so well. You can build the tenon up with tightly wound teflon tape or (more old-fashioned) thread as an emergency fix. But both tend to bunch up as you put the joint together and take it apart.
If you re-cement the cork and it seems to hold, you don't really need to have anything else done until next time the clarinet is in a repair shop for something more serious.
