Is this strictly true?  

Using NumberPadding, we have the following ... (excusing InputForm)

In[107]:=
z =  12345

Out[107]=
12345

In[115]:=
z1 =PaddedForm[z,8]

Out[115]//PaddedForm=
    12345

In[111]:=
z2 = PaddedForm[z, 8, NumberPadding->{"0", ""}]

Out[111]//PaddedForm=
000012345

In[116]:=
TableForm[{z, z1, z2}, TableAlignments->Right]

Out[116]//TableForm=
\!\(\*
  InterpretationBox[GridBox[{
        {"12345"},
        {
          TagBox[
            InterpretationBox["\<\"    12345\"\>",
              12345,
              Editable->False],
            (PaddedForm[ #, 8]&)]},
        {
          TagBox[
            InterpretationBox["\<\"000012345\"\>",
              12345,
              Editable->False],
            (PaddedForm[ #, 8, NumberPadding -> {"0", ""}]&)]}
        },
      RowSpacings->1,
      ColumnSpacings->3,
      RowAlignments->Baseline,
      ColumnAlignments->{Right}],
    TableForm[ {12345, 
      PaddedForm[ 12345, 8], 
      PaddedForm[ 12345, 8, NumberPadding -> {"0", ""}]}, TableAlignments ->

      Right]]\)

Dave.
