Some languages have "picture" formats, where the structure of the format string more closely mimics that of the desired output. (This is true, e.g., of some Basics and of one variety of Perl output.) The trouble with this is that it limits how much information you can provide about how each value is to be formatted within the available space.
COBOL! From the snippet Steven posted about C#, it seems to have a mode of "custom number formatting" which is picture-based.
