I don't believe there is a way to do that.  You can vote up the idea as suggested here https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/setting_imdb_trailers_to_hd_720p_as_default_not_480_default

Note that the reply that says it's probably set to default to standard def to preserve bandwidth got a "like" from Giancarlo, an official rep, and is likely the reason they have not done so yet.  I would bet that they will go ahead at some point, though...when that might be???....

The discussion linked above is now "no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: No longer relevant."
Am I missing something? It seems pretty RELEVANT to me, since I have to switch every trailer to HD, which causes the sound to double up half the time.
If the reason suggested above is accurate, it seems a bit hard to believe IMDb is SO hurting for revenue that they can't spring for the extra bandwidth required to fix this truly annoying issue (and provide a better user experience).
