Format the cells as TEXT then past special as TEXT...

I have a table I want to paste into excel. There are some codes likes like
"01", "01a", "01b", (quotes are not in html table). This should all be text,
but Excel keeps converting "01" to general format, and displaying as "1".
This is making it difficult to use pivot tables, and displaying correctly.
What can I do?
