I put that together really quick using Bootstrap as a framework, it’s sort of what I was thinking when I suggested a mechanism to inform the user of existent information.

Basically up top you have a step/progress indicator. Below that you have your current form, and to the right you have your progress or some auto-populating info.

Given some further fluffing up you could turn that into a nice ajax form that loads the next form in the same area and just sort of auto-populates that sidebar as you go.
