Posting Form to Sharepoint Library Subfolder

I'm prototyping an "electronic traveler" system for our manufacturing department. We want to track a complex, multi-step manufacturing process for various products, which have similar but not identical processes. If I can develop a "universal" traveler form that would simplify things for us.

In order to keep data management simpler, I was thinking of organizing the submitted InfoPath forms into subfolders in the Sharepoint document library (i.e. per-product or whatever). I can create a subfolder in the library, navigate to that folder, and click New to create a new InfoPath form, but when I submit the form, it is posted to the top-level of the document library. This makes sense given that the submit location logic is embedded in the form itself.

Is there a way to 1) identify the relative folder path in the document library for the newly-created form that hasn't yet been posted to the library, and 2) modify the submit location based on that? I don't necessarily want to select the target location based on some actual form data, but rather the location in Sharepoint where the "New" button was clicked.

Basically I'm looking for a "do what I expect" approach here -- I create a subfolder, click New, fill out the form, submit, and the newly-created form should be saved back to where I created it from in the first place.
