An old fashioned way:

>> V = [1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,0];
>> X = V~=0;
>> U = V(X);
>> U(cumsum(X))
ans =
   1   1   1   1   2   2   2   2   3   3   3   3   3   3   5   5   5   5   5

A is your array

A(A==0)=NaN
A=fillmissing(A,'previous')

currently i am using lower version. I think, it should work for higher version. Thanks for your suggestion.
