I don't use ido, so I don't even know how to test this.  But here's what I came
up with from looking at ido.el.  I didn't understand how to properly implement
ido-magic-control-s, so you have to type `C-x C-f C-x C-s' (by analogy with
`C-x C-f C-x C-d', which runs ido-enter-dired):

(defun ido-enter-shell ()
  "Drop into `shell' from file switching."
  (interactive)
  (setq ido-exit 'shell)
  (exit-minibuffer))

(define-key ido-file-dir-completion-map "\C-x\C-s" 'ido-enter-shell)
