Using Substring(0,5) for Zipcode Apex Trigger

Hi All,
 String zipcode1 = a.BillingPostalCode.substring(0,5);
        if(a.BillingPostalCode!=NULL&&countyMap.containsKey(zipcode1)) {
            a.County__c = countyMap.get(zipcode1).County__c;
   }
If I am using the above code it is working for zipcode1 > = 5  but throwing error System.StringException: Ending position out of bounds: for zipcode1<5  i.e; if Zipcode1 = 32809- it is updating the county as Orange
                        if Zipcode1 = 3280 it is throwing the above error on the account page.

Can any one help me how to avoide this error on account page.

Thanks,

String zipcode1;
if (a.BillingPostalCode.length() >= 5)
    zipcode1 = a.BillingPostalCode.substring(0,5);
else
    zipcode1 = a.BillingPostalCode.substring(0,4);
