if you UNCHECK "preserve cell formatting" PivotTable takes format assigned to the field. How to set format depends on did you add data to data model creating PivotTable or not.
If not, Field Settings->Number format->select proper date format or set it in Custom
If with data model, open it in Power Pivot and format date field from menu.
If "preserve cell format" checked it shall take format applied to the cells in the grid.
