I have used the “Add format type” option under Date and Time to add a format besides Long Medium and Short. My problem is that my format is being ignored and it is defaulting to Medium.
Any ideas?

In Drupal 6, custom date formats are a feature of date.module and therefore not integrated with format_date().
This has been changed in Drupal 7, where this is a core feature now.
However, you can specify ‘custom’ as type and then pass the desired $format in directly. You could write a simple wrapper function that gets the format from a custom date format and then passes that to format_date().
