Formatting a timestamp in a specific format is something that should be done by the presentation layer so I think you're focusing on the wrong thing.

That said, the value produced by the date filter will be of a timestamp type that I think has methods for formatting (probably named strftime). If so you can use a ruby filter to call that method and format the timestamp in any way supported by the date library.
