In the extension I have used a date field, with the Field Type of Calendar (this uses the Joomla Date selector).
However, the date is being formatted to YYYY-MM-DD.
Any ideas?

To change the way the date is formatted, you simply ass the format attribute to the field. As you want to change it to DD-MM-YY, you can use the following:
<field
name="calendar"
type="calendar"
label="Select Date"
default="21-11-2014"
format="%d-%m-%Y"
/>
For more information on the calendar field type, please have a look at the following:
http://docs.joomla.org/Calendar_form_field_type
Hope this helps

I've tried this previously, but when saving from the component, the date is changed to 0000-00-00 in the component. Nov 21, 2014 at 16:32

1Hmm odd. According to the docs, the format defines the way it's stored so it should work. I'll have a quick check– LodderNov 21, 2014 at 16:39

I've just tested this on a random module. Added the above code to the module's XML file, selected a date from the calendar, saved it, then echoed the value in the default.php and it works fine.– LodderNov 21, 2014 at 16:44
