Try baby powder or talc powder. They help absorb wetness and odor, which will help. Also trimming and/or completely shaving your pubic hair will help with the smell. You have different sweat glands in areas that grow pubic hair called apocrine glands, and this sweat is metabolized by bacteria that love to live in pubic hair, and the bad smell that occurs comes as a result of the bacteria metabolizing that sweat. Get rid of the hair and you get rid of a lot of the bacteria, get rid of the sweat with talc or baby powder and you have even less of a chance of smelling.

If you've got the chance...a quick wash of that area will help as well. If not, dry off as much as possible and add the powder, it works great.
