Is there away to get TableHeadings align to the Right instead of the default to the Left? For example, for 

TableForm[{{1}, {3}}, TableHeadings->{{"t111111", "t2"}, {"Values"}}]

is there a way to have t111111 and t2 align to the right?

Sure hope there is an easier way than the following

tf = TableForm[{{1}, {3}}, TableHeadings -> {{"t111111", "t2"}, {"Values"}}]

enter image description here

RawBoxes[ToBoxes@tf /. HoldPattern[ColumnAlignments -> _]:>(ColumnAlignments -> {Right, Left})]

enter image description here

tf = TableForm[{{1, 2, 3}, {3, 4, 5}},TableHeadings->{{"t111111","t2"},{"Val1", "Val2", "Val3"}}];

RawBoxes[ToBoxes@tf /. HoldPattern[ColumnAlignments -> _]:>(ColumnAlignments -> {Right, Center})]

leftpad[list_] :=
 With[{blanks = StringJoin /@ Map[Table[" ", {#}] &, Max[#] - # &[StringLength /@ list]]},
  Map[StringJoin[blanks[[#]], list[[#]]] &, Range @ Length @ list]]

keys = {"a", "abcd" , "abc", "ab"};
vals = Range @ 4;

TableForm[List /@ vals, TableHeadings -> {leftpad @ keys, {"Values"}}]
