If I can't get it to show on the Calibre column, I'll just have to continue as I have been, but it does seem a lot of trouble when I would like to just look at the column and know - especially older books that have been added to Calibre a really long time ago. Appreciate your reply.
No you cannot change the Calibre display. Calibre does not store leading zeroes on the series number as internally it is stored as a floating point number )which means leading zeroes are effectively discarded). You therefore have to add them (it wanted) at the point a book is exported from Calibre.
