ssh but keep current working directory

I personally don't like to alias ssh. The fewest number of characters I found to do the job is :

ssh user@hostname -t "cd $PWD;bash"

If the remote server has been preconfigured (in sshd_config) with

AcceptEnv CURRENT_DIR

And you include

cd "$CURRENT_DIR"

as the last line in the remote servers' ~/.bashrc, you can connect with

CURRENT_DIR="$PWD" ssh user@host -o SendEnv=CURRENT_DIR

It's a workaround, but it'll...work.
