Redirect to more specific URL via routing

I am using the following routing in my project

routes.MapRoute(
    "ProductRoute", // Route name
    "product/{id}/{title}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "product", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }, // Parameters defaults
    new[] { "PriceCompare.Controllers" }
    );

The problem at hand is how the url is displayed in return. One can access the URL in any of the following ways:

All is fine, as all these URLs redirect to the desired place. But, what i think would be nice is even if someone uses the 2nd or 3rd approach, the return URL in browser should show the 1st URI.

Just like StackOverflow. For example if you visit the following URL

stackoverflow.com/questions/734249/, your browser address will show the complete URL in browser stackoverflow.com/questions/734249/asp-net-mvc-url-routing-with-multiple-route-values

How can this be achieved?

You can either implement your own Route or do something like this in your action:

public ActionResult Index(int? id, string title = null)
{
    if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(title))
    {
         var product = // load product
         return Redirect(Url.Action("Index", "Product",
                                    new { id = id, title = product.Title }));
    }

    // your code
}
