dataflow - 0 infront of month

Question

This is what I am using in dataflow sink - expression to get the month number. But I would like to get 0 if it is a single digit month
'/month=', toString(month(toDate($p_CurrerntDate))) --> gives 4 whereas I would like to see 04
and if it is a two digit month then leave it as is.
p.s.
$p_CurrerntDate example --> '2022-04-12'
Thank you
