Format of date parameters

It seems quite easy to format date parameters any way we like when displaying
a report, but how do we set the date format to use when entering that date -
as an input parameter. Everything works fine with if we accept the default
US style (MM/dd/yyyy) but we need to use dd/MM/yyyy.
Can we force the system to use this format or do we have to manipulate a
string parameter and live with it?It would be nice if there were a calendar drop down when a datetime parameter
is specified.
