It does appear to be addressed for the day. I still donno about the month.. Perhaps it should be added to the BUG list.
man date

date "+%e %d %Y"
24 24 2005
It'll take 5 days to see if it works.
If you want to learn more than you want you can try this:
date "+%m %e %Y" | sed "s/0\([1-9]\)/ \1/"
You'll need a UNIX book covering sed to understand it and it may not be worth your time.
