Percussion clef isn't a normal clef that can be added to standard staves - you need to actually add a percussion instrument. When you do that, this clef is chosen by default. Or, if you want to switch to percussion mid-score, use an instrument change text from the palette to tell MuseScore which instrument you are changing to, and again, the clef happens automatically.

Simialrly for tab, you can't just add a tab clef to a standard staff as that wouldn't make musical sense. You need to actually have a tab instrument. So select guitar or whatever when creating the staff.

A percussion clef in the middle of an instrument score can make musical sense. I'm scoring something now where some of the instrumentalists need to make a percussive sound in a specific rhythm for several measures. Choosing a 5-line staff and showing a key signature makes less musical sense than using a percussion staff and 1 line without a key signature.
