millimeters = kilometers × 1,000,000. So 0.000002 kilometers is back to 2 millimeters; one kilometer is 1,000,000 millimeters. See the kilometers to millimeters table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.000001: 2 × 0.000001 ≈ 0.000002 km, against the exact 0.000002 km (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A millimeter is smaller than a kilometer, so the number of kilometers must come out smaller than the number of millimeters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
