Default How do i prevent the 000's in the beginning of an entry from dropp

I am trying to enter a combination of numbers and letters in a cell and if it
starts with a 0 (zero) when I hit enter to move to another cell all the 0's
at the beginning
drop off
EX: 0019301C76F5 becomes 19301C76F5

I need all 12 digits in order to sort the way i would like.
Is there a setting to prevent the 0 at the beginning from dropping?
Thank you for any help
Bobby
