I use this function:

   scd() {
     local term=
     case $# in
       (0)
         echo "usage: $0 <host> [<command> [<arguments>...]]"
         return 1
         ;;
       (1)
         term=-t
         ;;
     esac
     local host=$1
     shift
     ssh $term $host cd ${(q)PWD} '&& exec $SHELL' ${1+-c} ${(qj: :)*}
   }
