It's not elegant but an expression such as
Subscript[x, PaddedForm[4, 1, NumberPadding -> {"0", "0"}]]
looks OK, and I guess you could turn it into a function or use the
Notation package to ease your task if this is something you want to do
regularly.
The other approach I tried was to use the invisible characters - see
section 3.10.5 of The Mathematica Book. Sadly the invisible comma is
visible in output, but you may find something else more useful.
