G'day

Wouldn't that be cool? — I've not seen a way to do it

But… you could have a script do it for you

tell application “Adobe InDesign CS5.5”
tell layout window 1 of document 1
set theZoom to zoom percentage
zoom given show pasteboard
set zoom percentage to theZoom
end tell
end tell

Copy that into Script Editor (Applications > Applescript)
Change first line to your version of InDesign
Save it as a script to Applications > InDesign > Scripts > Scripts Panel
Open Scripts Panel in InDesign (Window > Utilities)
Double click to run it

If you have nothing selected it will centre the page
If you DO have something selected, it will centre on that

You could even assign a keyboard shortcut to run the script for you
