You can't do it with a double solenoid valve connected to a typical pneumatic cylinder.

It is possible to do something like what you are asking by using multiple solenoid valves connected in creative ways, but it is not something you will find an off-the-shelf solution for. However, it will be very difficult to make it meet the pneumatics rules, which require that the working pressure never exceed 60 psi.
