Perhaps you could recode to use 0's instead of 1's, and then use a sparse array?

A 36x5034313 matrix of type double occupies 1.45 GB RAM. If you have stored the values in a cell array before, at least 2.9 GB RAM are required. If you run a 64 bit version of Matlab and install some more GBs, this should work sufficiently.
