(untested) I believe you can enter dates in "european dot" notation:
2013.2.3
but iirc you are not allowed to leave out the year. Another
possibility is
feb 3
FWIW, I find ISO notation (with its left-to-right decrease in
significance, mirroring that of numbers) the most sensible arrangement,
and now use it almost exclusively.
