You can do this in one line:

<xsl:value-of select="
    concat(
    substring-after(substring-after($date,'.'),'.')
    ,'.',
    format-number(substring-before(substring-after($date,'.'),'.'),'00')
    ,'.',
    format-number(substring-before($date,'.'),'00')
    )"/>

The only bit I think you wont already know here is format-number(),
which in this case allows you to pad with zeros to get at least 2 digits
