By a strange coincidence, I did the self same thing a while back.

There is Data.Binary which supports efficient reading and writing of 
binary data. However, sadly it does not support bit alignment, only 
whole byte alignment. I did put together a library to fix this, but I 
don't have the source code any more. Maybe I should finish it and put it 
on Hackage...
