You do not show the code or even say which methods you used.  It is
hard to tell what your problem is without that.

The Java libraries provide both locale-specific and locale-independent
formatting and parsing methods.  That makes a *lot* of sense, since
both are sometimes required.

It sounds like you are using a locale-specific method for formatting
and a locale-independent method for parsing.
