You could leave the jpegs shot by the canon on the card but you need the
correct directory structure. Formating the card in the Pentax will
automatically fill it in.
If you have a card reader you can add the directories you need after
formating the card in the other camera, if you really want to.
For example both the Pentax *ist-D and Ds use this structure
\DCIM\100PENTX
The picture files will be stored in the 100PENTX directory.
My Kodak DC260 has a directory structure like this.
\DC260_01
\SYSTEM
That camera stores the Picture files in the DC260_01 directory by
default, though you can set up alternate "albums".
The system directory holds scripts that can alter the camera operations
and menus.
If I add the Pentax directory structure that card the *ist-D simply puts
it's pictures in the proper directory and ignores the Kodak directories
and vice versa. In a way it's pretty neat, but I haven't really come up
with a real use for the behavior.

When you're worried or in doubt,
Run in circles, (scream and shout).
