Once I managed to install Ubuntu 12.04 in my 16 GB pen drive. Hope you can also install Ubuntu in a pen drive. I first formatted it into two partitions. 1st as EXT4, gave around 12 GB and 2nd as SWAP gave remaining space. Any how I managed to use Ubuntu from pen drive.

But believe me it didn't worth the installation. It was too slow to response and was taking seconds to open a window. I installed in USB 2.0, so you may give a try on USB 3.0. But I don't think that it will run fast. So I prefer you to just steal some space from your existing Windows partition and install Ubuntu on that. Gparted will do this for you.
