Set a "Series Prefix" metadata property to "[HH_{series_index}] "
During export, the book's metadata information is modified to add the prefix prior to all the book titles?
I'm sure everyone with a kindle can see where I'm going with this, since we have no folders... :|
I'd like not to have to mangle the titles directly in the Calibre library.

I don't have a Kindle, but it sounds like you just want to have the file renamed during export to:
"HH_01 - On Basilisk Station.ext"
When it's stored with the title:
"On Basilisk Station.ext"
That's easy. Just set the Sending to Device format string on Add Books page of Preferences to:
{author_sort}/HH_{series_index} - {title}
Of course that applies the "HH" to all exports, so you might prefer:
{author_sort}/{series}_{series_index} - {title}
and then just use "HH" as your series name.
If OTOH, you are asking to modify the internal metadata of the book, (perhaps that's important for a Kindle?), then I can't help.
