I haven't tried this, but the first thing I would try is this (replace
xxxx with the extension pattern you are using):

exten => xxxx,1,SetCIDNum(${PREFIX}${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => xxxx,2,Dial(.....)

where PREFIX is a global variable containing the prefix you want to prepend.

See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+SetCIDNum

You may need the 'a' flag to SetCIDNum too, depending on your application.

It's much better than my non-existent Slovakian!
