Zend locale makes me nervous: wrong date presentation

Question

At first I had problems getting the date in my db see here . Now I have problems getting it in the database in the correct format. This is my code:

public function editAction()
    {
        if($this->_request->getParam('id')){
            $id = $this->_request->getParam('id');
            $data = $this->_evtObj->selectOneRow($id);
            // initialize the form
            //var_dump($data);
            $form = new JS_Form_EventForm();

            $array = $data->toArray(); 
            //$locale = Zend_Registry::get('locale');
            $locale = new Zend_Locale();
            $date1 = new Zend_Date($locale);
            $date1->set($array[0]['evt_startdate']);
            $array[0]['evt_startdate'] = $date1->get();
            $array[0]['evt_enddate'] = date('%d-%m-%Y',(string)$array[0]['evt_enddate']);
            $form->populate($array[0]);
            $this->view->form =$form;
        }

As you can see, it fills out the form with dates from db. In db, the date is saved as 2010-01-15. As you can see in the above example, I tried two things:

locale = new Zend_Locale();
$date1 = new Zend_Date($locale);
$date1->set($array[0]['evt_startdate']);
$array[0]['evt_startdate'] = $date1->get();

Date is displayed here: "1262300400"

and

 $array[0]['evt_enddate'] = date('%d-%m-%Y',(string)$array[0]['evt_enddate']);

it shows the date: "% 01-% 01-% 1970"

I want the date displayed as dd-mm-yyyy

How to deal with it? This whole thing dates me crazy.

I am running zf 1.9.6

any idea?
