MATLAB: How NOT remove zeros from binary number

Question

Hello,

i've a problem: when i have read binary data from device and when i have store this data in differents variables, MATLAB removed automaticly the first zero from every variable if this one starts with zero. If not starts with zero, all it's ok. I think that MATLAB made this for spare memory…

How could i made for matlab preserve this first zero of each variables?

For example: 
Device gives me: 110101 and MATLAB stores 110101
but... if Device gives me: 010101 Matlab stores 10101

Remove the first zero.

Could you help me?

Thanks!
