Left-align after separator on status line?

Currently, I have the status line displaying Vim's
current working directory.

I like having the cwd on the right side of the status line.

I would like to align the cwd as far left to the separator
as possible, so that it doesn't shift around when I navigate
from column 1 to column 10, (likewise row 1 to row 10).

I've tried many variations of the sprintf syntax, and can't get
the current working directory not to shift around depending on the
line # and col # that I'm on.

Any ideas?

function! MyStatusLine()
let l:statline = '%=' "left/right separator
let l:statline = l:statline . '%-20{" | " . fnamemodify(getcwd(),
":t") . " | "}'
let l:statline = l:statline . '%l, %v of %L' "cursor line/total lines
return l:statline
endfunction

" Status Line
set laststatus=2
set statusline=%!MyStatusLine()

Thanks,
--Nate
