If you restrict to schemes over $k$ for some fixed field $k$, and consider skyscraper sheaves of $k$-modules (rather than just abelian groups), then I think that the following slight variation on Georges' answer gives a way of viewing skyscraper sheaves as quasi-coherent sheaves.
Let $(X,\mathcal O _X)$ be a locally ringed space over $k$ and $x \in X$. Assume that the residue field at $x$ is isomorphic to $k$, i.e. that for every $x \in X$ the canonical morphism
$$ k \to \mathcal O _{X,x} \to \mathcal O_{X,x} / \mathfrak m _x $$
is an isomorphism, we then have a well defined map
$$\mathrm{ev}_x : \mathcal O_{X,x} \to k$$
Instead of $(\{x\},\mathcal O _{X,x})$ take the one point ringed space $(\{x\},k) = \mathrm{Spec}(k)$. Note that we have
$$ \mathcal O _{\{x\}} \text{-mod} = \text{Sh}_{k \text{-mod}} (\{x\}) = k \text{-mod}$$
Then $\mathrm{ev}_x$ gives a morphism of locally ringed spaces
$$(i_x,\mathrm{ev}_x): (\{x\},k) \to (X,\mathcal O_X)$$
and functors
\begin{align*}
f^{-1} : \text{Sh}_{k\text{-mod}} (X) & \to k \text{-mod} \\
f_\ast : k \text{-mod} & \to \mathcal O_X \text{-mod}
\end{align*}
For any sheaf $M$ of $k$-modules on $X$ we then have the $\mathcal O_X$-module $f_\ast f^{-1} M$.
If $M$ is a skyscraper sheaf of $k$-modules supported at $x$, then $f_\ast f^{-1} M \cong M$ as sheaves of $k$-modules, but $f_\ast f^{-1} M$ is an $\mathcal O_X$-module with action
$$ a \cdot m = (\text{ev}_x (a_x)) m $$
for any open $U \subset X$ containing $x$ and sections $a \in \mathcal O_X(U)$ and $m \in M(U)$.
If $(X,\mathcal O_X)$ is a scheme then since $(\{x\},k)=\text{Spec}(k)$ is a scheme (unlike $(\{x\},\mathcal O_{X,x})$ ), we have that $f_\ast f^{-1} M$ is quasi-coherent because it is the pushforward of the quasi-coherent sheaf $f^{-1}M$.
For example if $k$ is algebraically closed and $(X,\mathcal O_X)$ is locally of finite type over $k$, then the construction above gives you a way to view any skyscraper sheaf of $k$-modules supported at a closed point as a quasi-coherent sheaf.
