Yes, "2011-08-02 18:09:06" seems to be the best default.
Besides, it complies with the ISO 8601 standard of the International
Organization for Standardization. The Wikipedia article (excerpt
below) has lots of details and alternatives, but I think the
format above is 100% compliant.
Date and time are just the kind of thing where following
international standards is a good idea.

This is a short excerpt from the Wikipedia article.
ISO 8601
General principles
* Date and time values are organized from the most to the least
significant: year, month (or week), day, hour, minute, second,
and fraction of second. The lexicographical order of the
representation thus corresponds to chronological order, except
for date representations involving negative years. This allows
dates to be naturally sorted by, for example, file systems.
* Each date and time value has a fixed number of digits that must
be padded with leading zeros.
* Representations can be done in one of two formats -- a basic
format with a minimal number of separators or an extended format
with separators added to enhance human readability. The separator
used between date values (year, month, week, and day) is the
hyphen, while the colon is used as the separator between time
values (hours, minutes, and seconds). For example, the 6th day of
the 1st month of the year 2009 may be written as "2009-01-06" in
the extended format or simply as "20090106" in the basic format
without ambiguity. The extended formats are preferred over the
basic formats not only for human readability, but because some
basic formats can appear to be ambiguous to those unfamiliar with
the standard.
