If I understand you right --- there is a way, in the struct package:
fields2cell works as struct2cell but you can specify (a) field(s). But
you have to permute() the result if you want the original dimensions
with only one field. If you think its worth I could add a compiled
function for only one field which preserves the original dimensions.
