Default Leading Zero with Function

I have a column that displays zipcodes in the Zip Code format, but I am
trying to create a column to the left of that column that will display the
first three digits of the zip code and I am having issues bringing forward
the leading zeros. I have tried custom formatting and am using the following
formula to bring the first three digits over =LEFT(B4005,3); this formula
brings over the first three digits in all cases except the leading zeros. I
am at a loss. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
