I never answered. T_T I use the following now in my init:
(require 'org-table)
(setq org-calc-default-modes (cons 'calc-hms-format (cons '"%s@ %02s"
org-calc-default-modes)))

The require is necessary to get org-calc-default-modes defined. The
calc-hms-format is not defined, so this works, but I will write a function
so also the other values can be changed.

The reason I use this, is that this does not have side effects. When the
defaults change, your way would have a side effect.

The zero fill only works with a number format. That is the reason I can not
get it the way I want, but I can live with that.
