LiveCycle Designer 7, Display Pattern not working

Question

With Adobe LiveCycle Designer version 7.1.2295.1.242059:
I have a Form that has fields that the user fills out and an "Email Submit Button" where when the user clicks it, it submits the form via email that attaches a .xml file. When I receive the email, I noticed that all the "Date" fields data does not have the slashes in them unless the user specifically uses the pop-up calendar form to set the date value for each of these fields. If the user just types in the date as "02192007", the data does not get converted to "02/19/2007".
I tried modifying the various Pattern properties of the date fields on the form, but that does not seem to fix the problem.
Also, if I set the following "date{MM/DD/YYYY}|date{M/D/YYYY}" as my "Validation Pattern:" for my Date fields, and everytime I enter "2/19/2007", I keep getting my "Validation Pattern Message", indicating that the format is wrong. However, if I enter "02" as the month, it works fine; only single digit months fail.
The other settings for this field that I have are:
(Field Tab): Display Pattern: MM/DD/YYYY
(Field Tab): Edit Pattern: MM/DD/YYYY
What am I doing wrong and how can I insure that slashes will come across on the XML file when it is submitted even though I have set the pattern properties?

Designer 8 doesn't help either.
I have the same settings Shweta proposes - but the exported date format is still different.
You can fill the date field via script (like the following) then the date format is allright. To me it looks like the designer's "date format" is simply a string and the designer doesn't care a bit about the display patterns.
var today = new Date();
var dayOfWeek = today.getDay();
var month = today.getMonth()+1;
var year = today.getFullYear();
var day = today.getDate();
this.rawValue = day + "." + month + "." + year;
