Question: I have a directory on my server at

/home/dave/www/images/site (ext3)

which I want to mount directly to my Windows computer so that I can transfer data easily via command line tool. Is that something possible?

Answer: 
If the server is located within your "local" network (i.e: not across the internet) it might actually be considerably less hassle to set up a SMB (i.e.: Windows) share on the Linux server and let your Windows box access it in that manner.

Depending on your server configuration, if may already have the necessary software (Samba) installed - check your package manager for more details.
Another approach would be scp/sftp. If you have an SSH server running on the Linux machine you can use scp/sftp tools to transfer files (such as putty - <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html>):
