Well, I would say you (or your users) live in the past. 
The rest of the world uses ISO-8601 ;)

Pun aside, you can always deliver epoch (or something else
you find more convenient) to your application and let the
application do the formatting. 
SQL isn't meant for presentation anyway, it's for relational
storage.

Example:
Compute the time since the unix epoch in seconds (like
strftime('%s','now') except this includes the fractional
part):

 SELECT (julianday('now') - 2440587.5)*86400.0;
