Default zero at the beginning of a telephone#

When I type 01243 32186 (telephone number) it is left aligned in the cell and
exactly as it is typed. As soon as I move the cursor away from that cell,
the telephone number flies across to the right in the cell and the '0'
disappears so it reads 1243 32186 and is right aligned in the cell. As the
data is to be used as a database I am using General cell formatting. Can
anyone help me please to sort out these irritating jumping numbers?
