No.  As an employee, you cannot deduct job related expenses on your federal return, but depending on the state you live in, you may be able to deduct it for the state.  You will enter your miles driven or vehicle expenses in the deductions and credits section of the federal return.  Although, you will not get a federal deduction, the information, if applicable, will transfer to your state return.
