Is it possible to use \begin{align} in an inline math mode with \displaystyle?

Question

Is it possible to use \begin{align} in an inline math mode with \displaystyle?

Well, have you tried it? I suspect it will not work, though. \begin{aligned} has a better chance of working.
@Harald, \begin{align} does NOT work, but \begin{aligned} works.
@Seamus, I want to put it in a tabular cell. I notice that inline equations get vertically centered by default in m{} type column.

aligned is intended for this. But also align works if you use \parbox:

Text $\displaystyle\parbox{2cm}{\begin{align}
x &= 1 \\
y &= 0
\end{align}}$ \quad more text
