You could use namespace constraints:

routes.MapRoute(
    "help",
    "help/{controller}/{action}",
    new { controller = "User", action = "Index" },
    new[] { "MvcApplication1.Controllers.help" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
    "api",
    "api/{controller}/{action}",
    new { controller = "User", action = "Index" },
    new[] { "MvcApplication1.Controllers.api" }
);

As far as having sub-folders for your Views is concerned, this is not supported out of the box. You will have to write a custom view engine for this to work.

By the way have you considered using Areas? They seem like better fit for your scenario. So you would define 2 areas: help and api and have the UserController defined in both.
