Default how to add decimal to beginning of imported number

when importing fixed width text file, all leading zeros are dropped. Is
there a way to add a decimal point to the beginning of a number?
i.e.
text file data = 0004
data = 0125
preferred outcome in excel
00.04
01.25
all custom formatting i have tried puts decimal to the left of number
any ideas
thanks
