Here's a working solution, define this within <xsl:stylesheet> (i.e. on the
top level):

  <xsl:variable name="months">
    <month name="January">01</month>
    <month name="February">02</month>
    <month name="March">03</month>
    <month name="April">04</month>
    <month name="May">05</month>
    <month name="June">06</month>
    <month name="July">07</month>
    <month name="August">08</month>
    <month name="September">09</month>
    <month name="October">10</month>
    <month name="November">11</month>
    <month name="December">12</month>
  </xsl:variable>

Later, in a template (assuming the month name is in $month):

  <xsl:value-of select="$months[@name=$month]"/>
