Default Adding leading zeros to a calculated value

I have a formula that does exactly what its supposed to do (ie convert
latitudes in decimal format to latitudes in Degrees minute seconds format)
=ABS((TEXT((INT(ABS(C3))*10000),"00")+TEXT(INT(MOD (ABS(C3),1)*60),"00")*100+
INT(MOD(MOD(ABS(C3),1)*3600,60)))*SIGN(C3))& IF(C3<0,"S","N")

the problem is that I always want the degrees to have two digits even if it
is two 00 so that the cell always contains 123456N or 004530S

any suggestions please?
