You can setup an autocommand that executes when you open a file. If you add this to your .vimrc, that will do it.

au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | exe "normal! g`\"" | endif

See :help last-position-jump; this line is pulled straight from there.

Most vi(m) I know of already do this. They propably have that setting in the global vimrc. Is there any reason to disable that feature? – Nils Oct 26 '11 at 19:55

According to this, this method doesn't work for one-line files. The link contains another method which does (though it's never been a big deal for me). – Edd Steel Oct 26 '11 at 22:20
