I don't keep all my contacts in one folder. I have different folders
depending on their relationship to me. ie technical, family friends, etc.
As it stands now I have to save the New contact to the contact folder and
then go to that folder and move the contact to the respective folder I want
it it.

I would like to be able to save a new contact to a contact sub folder
instead of having to save it to the contact folder then moving it to the
respective sub folder.

You do that by choosing File | Move to Folder instead of Save and Close, when you create a new contact.

Why not create the Contact in that Folder?
