Try this:
ssh -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cd / && exec /bin/bash'
The '-t' forces allocation of a tty, which is probably what
confused you wrt "it seems to be hanging" - you didn't get a prompt.
The "sh -c" isn't neccesary as ssh already executes a shell,
and the '&&' makes sure that the final shell is only run if
the cd / (or cd /what/ever) succeeds.
