Default How do you change single digits to recognized double digits?

I asked earlier how to make a column display a two digit number
instead of a single digit number (under 10) by adding a zero in
front. The answer was to hit custom and type in two zeros. The
problem is the spreadsheet does display the 02 on the cell but if you
click the cell it still reads ony the 2. This doesn't allow me to
enter into access without errors. I have tried copy paste special but
still does not resolve the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Bottom line I need to be able to place a 0 in front of all single
digit numbers in a column.

Thanks.
