Format date in $node object

I have a Date CCK field which I'd like to display in a custom format, however, as I'm trying to get it from the $node object, I can't seem to change the format...

$node->field_my_date[0]['value'] outputs 2009-05-19T00:00:00. I therefore can't use format_date() as I otherwise would.
I've tried changing the format on the CCK Display Fields page, and changing the Default Display in the Date field's CCK settings, but neither seem to change the format of the date as shown in the $node object...

Is there a way I can either format the current display of the date, or change it to a timestamp so I can use format_date() on it?
