If I understand correctly what you want, you need to
adjust the axis.components list, specifically the
'pad1' and 'pad2' values for the bottom/left/top/right
axes. If you keep the sum pad1 + pad2 = 2, then the
plot will retain your xlab/ylab at the default position.

Here's an example:

   require(lattice)
   myadj <- 0.1
   p <-
   xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species
     ,data = iris
     ,par.settings = list(
        axis.components = list(
           left   = list(pad1 = myadj, pad2 = 2 - myadj)
          ,bottom = list(pad1 = myadj, pad2 = 2 - myadj)
          ,top    = list(pad1 = myadj, pad2 = 2 - myadj)
          ,right  = list(pad1 = myadj, pad2 = 2 - myadj)
        )
      )
   )
   print(p)
