You can do something like that :
Code:
start_date=May122011
start_date=$( nawk -v Date=${start_date} '
                BEGIN { Months="   JanFebMarApeMayJunJulSepOctNovDec"
                        year  = substr(Date, 6, 4) + 0;
                        day   = substr(Date, 4, 2) + 0;
                        month = index(Months, substr(Date, 1, 3)) / 3;
                        printf "%04d%02d%02d", year, month, day;
                        exit;
                      }
              '
            )
