I have always answered truthfully, but have not been shy about expecting a reasonable jump up from my current salary. If I'm making 80K then I might put that down and once we get to the salary negotiation part say "the range I am looking for is $90k to 100" or something. I know they say that you should never say a number first but I've never gotten away with that. But actually it has worked out well for me. The key is not to talk about it with them until you get to the END and they've decided to make an offer. Any employer who thinks they can hire you just what you made before is an idiot anyways.
