Joda-Time has no direct way to handle the extra space (JSR-310 does). However, you can create a DateTimeFormatBuilder and use append(Printer, Parser[]) to add a selection of two parsers (one with an extra space and one without). The downside is that this would parse two spaces followed by two digits as well. http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormatterBuilder.html#append%28org.joda.time.format.DateTimePrinter,%20org.joda.time.format.DateTimeParser[]%29
You can also implement your own DateTimeParser that handles a possibly space prefixed day-of-month. Again, use DateTimeFormatBuilder to integrate.
