Did you look at the source of switch-to-buffer?  This portion sounds
relevant:

      (let* ((entry (assq buffer (window-prev-buffers)))
             (displayed (and (eq switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point
                                 'already-displayed)
                             (get-buffer-window buffer 0))))
        (set-window-buffer nil buffer)
        (when (and entry
                   (or (eq switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point t)
                       displayed))
          ;; Try to restore start and point of buffer in the selected
          ;; window (Bug#4041).
          (set-window-start (selected-window) (nth 1 entry) t)
          (set-window-point nil (nth 2 entry))))))
