Sure, no problem.

1. Run Calibre.
2. Click the "Preferences" button on the toolbar.
3. On the "Import/Export" line of Preferences, click the "Metadata plugboards" icon.
4. Now, on the "Plugboards" screen, fill in the "Add new plugboard" line as follows:

Format: mobi
Device: KINDLE2 <------ make sure you select KINDLE2 and not KINDLE!
Source template: {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|| - }{title}
Destination field: title

Now click "Save plugboard" and you're done. When you transfer a book to your Kindle with Calibre, you should now end up with a title in the desired format.

I should also add a second plugboard which is the same as the one above, but with a format of "prc" rather than "mobi". That way it'll work for files with both "prc" and "mobi" extensions.

Hope that helps!
