I'd write some software to correct the problem with Perl, sed, awk, or any other available scripting/programming language. That obviously depends on your platform, and what tools are available to you.
Having said that, Larry's solution is probably best - defining a wider-than-necessary field, then stripping additional spaces from before or after the value you want.
