How can I open a command prompt with administrative privilege in current folder with a keyboard shortcut?

Question

I have seen How can I open a command prompt in current folder with a keyboard shortcut? and I know these ways like Press Alt+D, type cmd and press Enter Or pressing shift + click open in command prompt but how can I open with administrative privilege?

Edit

Adam's answer is perfect and, along with that, I also found a shell extension which can do that called ContextConsole.

This is opensource and supports both 32 and 64 bit

create new shortcut with cmd.exe /kcd /dd:\some_folder as target, go to shortcut properties, set shortcut key, go to advanced and set run as administrator.

For clarification:

cmd /k Run Command and then return to the CMD prompt
cd /d changing current folder and drive

Do I put my directory in `d:\my_dir` portion ? If yes, it doesn't work. what does the `/kcd` and `/d` stands for ? – Dastagir Husain Yasin Dec 03 '16 at 13:21
yes, put your full patch directory after cd /d, if it contains spaces then put it in double quotes. – Adam Silenko Dec 03 '16 at 13:36
