Off the top of my head:
I would probably store in the user profile model the user's preferred
format string. Then I'd create a template tag that would format a
given datetime with that setting, e.g.:
{% now_in_user_format user %}
Inside that tag you would get the user's profile (user.get_profile())
and then return a string that is now().strftime(users_format).
