You could use the printf format %02d to pad your single digits with 0.

If your (g)awk version supports the FIELDWIDTHS variable:
Code:
BEGIN {FIELDWIDTHS = "1 2 1 2 1 2 1 "}
{printf "%02d %02d %02d\n", $2, $4, $6}

If not:
Code:
{
        mm=substr($0, 2, 2); dd=substr($0, 5, 2); yy=substr($0, 8, 2)
        printf "%02d %02d %02d\n", mm, dd,  yy
}
