I doubt it is a bank issue. More likely just a merchant issue.
One way around it is to open a PO Box and have all your bills sent there. Then the shipment address has to be a physical address.
The downside to this is, you have to trudge to the Post Office every day or so to pick up your mail....
I've not had issues with telling the on line merchant what my billing address is for the credit card, and then arranging a different shipping address. Most modern merchants on line have this capability. Say, for example, the person who has all their card statements going to a PO Box...
If the bank did allow multiple "billing addresses" it would only be a matter of time before they boloxed it up and sent your monthly credit card statement to your work address after you left that job, then you'd end up with a late payment and that's not good. So multiple billing addresses = Not Good in my estimation

All of my bills are delivered electronically via e-mail, so a physical address is not an issue. I did try changing the billing address for one card but started to get pre-approval mailings at the office, so I changed back. The tax rate is also more favorable at my office (in another state), especially for digital purchases (which don't allow for a shipping address to be entered).

What I did is get my out-of-state address confirmed to my Paypal account, then I set that as the default address for my Paypal debit MasterCard. It's not the perfect answer, but for those few occasions where it's a problem to have a billing address in one state and a delivery address in another I simply use the Paypal debit MasterCard to make it a moot point. This way I don't have to be concerned with the second address being reported to the credit bureaus (and creating a verification headache when I apply for new accounts).
I also learned to always check Amazon first when I need something delivered to my non-billing address, since they don't care as long as you're able to provide the billing address (or at least they never have so far...)
I like the Paypal idea but the debit card seems to be only available for business accounts (maybe it wasn't in the past). I also added the address and it didn't give me an option to have it verified.
Maybe I'll have to look into Bluebird or something.
Yeah, the debit card is referred to as a 'business debit' but it's available to individuals as well (you don't even have to "pretend" to have a business). I recall years ago they prompted me to 'upgrade' my Paypal account... it's still free in any case and everything works the same way.
I was able to get my out-of-state address confirmed by changing the address on my Serve card to the other address, then adding it to Paypal (which automatically 'confirmed' the new address) but if you add a gift card it should work the same way. Just register the gift card first, then add it to Paypal as a credit card with the same address you used to register it.
For me the most difficult part was getting Serve to take a PO Box address (it insists on a street address) but if you're creative you can make it work, and it doesn't have to be an exact match for Paypal to confirm it (Paypal seems most concerned about the ZIP code). After it was confirmed, I changed the address in Serve back to my 'real' address but Paypal is still 'confirmed'.
It's also made ordering from eBay and having the item delivered to my other address a breeze, since you can use the new 'confirmed' address with any payment method you have on file with Paypal, even if it has a different billing address.

Also added an AMEX gift card I received (which doesn't allow you to set a billing address) and it accepted my work address as the billing address. We'll see if it works. Thanks.
Fantastic! 
This has been working for me for 4+ years now, and so far there's never been a problem. If the new address is showing 'Confirmed' status you should be golden. If I remember correctly they also submit an auth for $1 on the card you add, but it will drop off in a few days. This work-around has made things much easier for me!
