Try unlocking just the cells that are used for data entry:
Select just the cells that you use for data entry. 'Format' menu -- Cells -- Protection, and untick the 'Locked' box. Now when you protect your sheet you will still be able to select your cells for input, but the formatting of your sheet should be preserved.
