It's not a lot of work to rename the file back to the original, but I don't see why I should have to.

Is there any way of preventing this happening - so that calibre saves the file with the same name I have given it?

You can control the file name and folder structure of files saved to disk by setting up a template in Preferences->Import/Export->Saving books to disk. Also see The calibre template language.
edit:

Almost forgot also see tweaks :
Code:
Control formatting of title and series when used in templates (ID: save_template_title_series_sorting)
