Subkernels can't initiate parallel computations using ParallelTable, so I  
think the premise of your question is flawed to begin with.

However, if you are doing something unusual such that this would not be  
the case, why not replace explicit calls to both Table and ParallelTable  
with your own definition? For example,

myTable := If[System`Parallel`$SubKernel, Table, ParallelTable]
