If you actually did put them in /etc/default/locale then I am confused
about what you're asking, or what's actually wrong.  PAM logins in jessie
(sshd, console login) are configured by default to read environment
variables from /etc/default/locale via the /etc/pam.d/* files that contain
"pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale" or similar.

If you log out and back in, and run "locale" with no arguments, what does
it say?

Is it possible that your desktop environment is overwriting whatever
PAM sets in the environment?  Try testing via a console or ssh login,
and see if it's different there.  (E.g. "ssh localhost" and then run
"locale".)  If you get a different result from this, that would be
*highly* significant.

What desktop environment or window manager are you actually using?
How are you logging in?  (Console + startx, or lightdm, or gdm3, or
some other display manager....)
