I am fairly certain that there is no provision in the game engine which would enable this. In the same way that there is no real provision for hanger starts on airfields.

Also the aircraft carrier models have not been made with this in mind. The elevators are not modelled as separate elements.

-- Shame it cant be done it would be cool to watch the aircraft being brought up from the hanger and moved to takeoff positions, especially if you were just diving to your bomb release point at the time.
