I have the number "06" in a table in Pages and every time I switch tab it keeps deleting it. What should I change to make it keep this leading zero?

If you set the cell format to text, it will let you put in whatever numbers you want without reformatting them.
Switch to the Table Inspector. Select the cell or range of cells that you want to apply a leading zero too. Let this image be your guide. When you change the Places value from 1 to 2, the leading zero appears.
Pages ’09 v4.3:
Pages v5.0.1: (Cell tab)
In Version 2, it's also possible to create a Custom Format to accomodate zip codes. That helps if you have to deal with 9-digit codes. If you have a combination of 5- and 9-digit codes, you can resort to preformatting the cells as Text.
