I guess your problem is that the calendar is indeed popped up, but the cursor
is still in the daytime prompt in the minibuffer. As Bernt points out, typing
-2 at that point gets you to the right date.
The calendar seems to be for inveterate mouser users, not keyboard
types: even if I C-x o to the calendar window, the cursor ends up not on
today's date but off to the right somewhere and I get an error message:
,----
| Error in post-command-hook (org-read-date-display): (buffer-read-only *Calendar*)
`----
Not sure what's going on there: I expected that after I switched windows
to the Calendar, my cursor would be on today's date.
