Date format setting ignored

I have set the date format (Dates viewing format:) in the customizations page to be MM-DD-YYYY since that is the standard in the US, but this setting seems to be ignored on the add/edit forms.
For example, when adding a new client the birthdate input format is DD-MM-YYYY. When modifying that client the current birthdate is shown as MM-DD-YYYY, but again the input form is DD-MM-YYYY.
This is very confusing since the person making the modification to a client sees the date as 04-01-1975 and with the current input form assumes the person's birthday is Jan 4.
