Sorry to belabour the point Kermit, but Stormfly's free cam can do exactly what you describe.
You can use it to walk around if you want but you don't have to. The slideout station shortcuts work just as well.
Example: I have just 'walked' my Control room view to the table at left of Weapons Officer. This has now become the default view for the CR.
Next, using slideout station buttons, I went to bridge and 'walked' just in front of UZO - setting the default bridge view at this point.
Two clicks of numpad 0 ( or click on CR Station button) and I'm back in Control Room at the desk.
Another click on Bridge station button and I'm back behind the UZO.
It really is that simple. The big plus point over standard free cam is that you can access crew and objects from your new viewpoint. Shift+f2 doesn't let you do that.
Should mention that it is possible to make the camera defaults in the way you suggest but it is not particularly easy. Using S3D you would need to go to the Interior fore camera node section in the Cameras dat file and modify the parameters therein. Same for the bridge view. Have tried this in the past and did manage to reposition the camera but only after a lot of trial and error.
Would seriously suggest that give SF's mod a try. You can always delete it if doesn't work for you
