The complex field type, Date or DateTime stores it values as raw text,  for example:

  20051003T120000 or 20051003T163256

Resolve the value by using implicit casting

// Date, DateTime
public static string outDate_DateTime(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item item, string sFieldName)
{
  System.Text.StringBuilder builder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
  Sitecore.Data.Fields.DateField dateField = item.Fields[sFieldName];
  builder.Append(dateField.DateTime.ToString("dddd, d. MMM. yyyy (hh:mm:ss)"));
  builder.Append("<br />");

  return builder.ToString();
}

Result (Danish localized settings):

mandag, 3. okt. 2005 (12:00:00)

or

mandag, 3. okt. 2005 (04:32:56)
