This is not my area of expertise, but I'll throw my $0.02 in...

When you 'request an outgoing line' by dialing 0, that call leg is 
processed by Asterisk, thus, that is what the phone 'sees' as the dialed 
number and that's what the phone will send when 'redial' is pressed.

I think you need to make the outbound dial a single 'transaction' either 
by using an extension pattern that includes the 0 like '05555555555' to 
dial 555-555-5555 or eliminate the 0 (and the idiom of 'requesting an 
outgoing line') and detect an internal vs external call via extension 
pattern matching.

Does your internal extension numbering plan conflict with external 
national numbering plan?

Dialing a prefix digit seems so 1970s to me.
