Continuing off of Matt Lacey's answer, your action could return a bit of Javascript that does this:

1. Use jquery to add a new form to the DOM
2. Use jquery to submit the newly added form

Something like this: (untested code)

var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(...);
var redirectUrl = urlHelper.Action("MyAction", "MyController");

var redirectScript = String.Format(@"
    var formTag = $('
');
    $(body).append(formTag);
    formTag.submit();"
    , redirectUrl
);

return JavaScript(redirectScript);
