Default Why does the initial zero in "01625" in a number cell disappear?

Using Excel I have formatted a cell for numbers and typed in "01625". When i
click enter the number changes to "1625". Other cells which seem to be
formatted in the same way retain the zero. If i type in 01625 531300 the
initial zero stays in place. Anyone know why.
