I would strongly recommend NOT putting a worn tire on the front. Traction on the front is much more important than traction in the rear, and a front flat is much more dangerous than a flat in the rear. The best course of action would be a new tire for the front and the old one in back, but if you don't want to buy a new tire, but the older one in the back.
