I encountered this issue before and was led to use SpanQueries for wildcards within phrases. Take a look at the SpanQuery family of classes. SpanQueries can give you the ability to specify a wildcarded term within a phrase since you can nest different SpanQueries within a SpanQuery. One of these is the SpanRegexQuery, which allows you to specify a regular expression that would serve as your wildcard term search within the phrase.
I ended up using a SpanNearQuery to represent the overall phrase nested with SpanRegexQueries for the wildcarded parts, and SpanTermQueries for all other non-wildcarded terms.

I think it shouldn't be difficult, but to expand the PrefixQuery, your QueryParser would need an IndexReader. Currently IndexReader/QueryParser don't depend on each other. Maybe this is the reason why it hasn't been done or why it hasn't been published.
