Try this in .bash_profile to get what you want.

trap '. $HOME/.logout' 0

Remember that the command string gets evaluated twice: one when the
trap is set, and once when run.

Use ~/.bash_logout.

But, ~/.bash_logout (if it exists) already gets executed when you logout of
a bash login shell.  So, there's really no need for the trap.  The method
above works, except that ~/.logout will get executed even when you exit out
of a bash shell that is not a login shell.  (I don't believe it should
unless bash is a login shell.)  Also, the ~/.logout file could probably
consist of csh commands, since .logout is a csh thing, so renaming it to
something like ~/.bash_logout would help if you did want to do it with
'trap'.
