Write a function and bind it to a key - something like this perhaps:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun ah-export-current-top-level-tree ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (outline-up-heading (org-current-level))
    (let ((org-export-initial-scope 'subtree))
          (org-export))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
