Howdy,

It doesn't make sense to do this alone since tabs are measured from the left
hand side of text line. However, placing the environment inside a
\parbox{0pt} seems to work fine. At least with your example.

\begin{center}
\parbox{0cm}{\begin{tabbing}
aa\=aa\kill
a\>b\\
\end{tabbing}}
\end{center}


Good Luck,
