OrigCell = {'10';
'00';
'11';
'011';
'0101';
'0100'};
zeroCell = cell(length(OrigCell),1);
zeroCell(:,1) = {'00000000'};
for xx = 1:length(OrigCell)
zeroCell{xx,1}(1:length(OrigCell{xx,1})) = OrigCell{xx,1};
end

The MATLAB approach:
C = {'10';'00';'11';'011';'0101';'0100'}
C = 6×1 cell array
{'10' } {'00' } {'11' } {'011' } {'0101'} {'0100'}
D = compose('%-08s',string(C))
D = 6×1 cell array
{'10000000'} {'00000000'} {'11000000'} {'01100000'} {'01010000'} {'01000000'}
