Default mm:ss keeps changing to a date format

I have what should be a simple issue.
I'm trying to enter race times as mm:ss and the entry keeps changing to a
date format.
so, if I enter 12:22, Excel changes it to [12:22:00 PM].
However, if I enter 36:22, Excel will change it to [1/1/1900 12:22 PM]

I've tried setting cell format to Custom and selecting the mm:ss option,
I've also tried the h:mm:ss and a few others.
Still no joy, Excel just doesn't want to cooporate.
PLEASE HELP....
