I am not sure how you are going to shorten any prompts and also if this is what you are after:-
It looks like you are using pyhton2.6.x or higher...

Ignore the paretheses in the "print" STATEMENTS, believe it or not this works right back to python Version 1.4.0...
EDIT:
I misinterpreted your post...
You could try intercepting SIGINT, Ctrl-C, and exit that way...
Code:
try:
# some code here <pass>
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Quit the code for versions 2.5.x and lower.
sys.exit()
# Or for versions 2.6.x and above. The 'sys' module is not needed to exit here...
exit()

The sys module not needed for 2.6 above is a new learning for me.
I am already having a KeyboardInterrupt check in my code.
What I am trying to achieve here is to reduce my repeated lines of code and at same time I don't want to loose the functionality of quitting the program on the input "q".
That is , I don't want user to input everything and then check for q value to exit.
Code:
req_number = raw_input("Please enter request number or Q to Quit: ")
if (req_number in ['Q', 'q', '']):
exit()
name = raw_input("Please enter you name or Q to Quit: ")
if (name in ['Q', 'q', '']):
exit()
phone = raw_input("Please enter phone number or Q to Quit: ")
if (phone in ['Q', 'q', '']):
exit()
email = raw_input("Please enter email id or Q to Quit: ")
if (email in ['Q', 'q', '']):
exit()
request_code = raw_input("Please enter your request code or Q to Quit: ")
if (request_code in ['Q', 'q', '']):
exit()
def EXIT(QUIT = ""):
if (QUIT == "q" or QUIT == "Q" or QUIT == ""): exit()
print("Enter 'Q', 'q' or RETURN to QUIT at any time...")
name = raw_input("Enter your name: "); EXIT(name)
date = raw_input("Enter your date of birth: "); EXIT(date)
address = raw_input("Enter your address: "); EXIT(address)
print("You are here!")
