This drives me crazy. What I usually do is drag the original folder location temporarily into the Finder Sidebar so I'm quickly able to find it in the save dialog. Hopefully there is a setting or other technique I've missed all these years. Same for Excel and Numbers of course.

You probably want a tool for this like default folder.
If you’re into automation, scripting this is possible, but may not be your ideal solution. Default folder has helped with this for all apps for decades whereas scripts are specific to each app.
