Do you mean that you are you using a media manager to rename your 
downloaded files from the tags embedded by AtomicParsley?  If so, which 
one?  There isn't an option for get_iplayer to embed a shorter version 
of the show name.  As always, feel free to add one, though you could 
also just change the tag value in your media manager before renaming the 
files.  If your media manager can't change tag values or can't rename 
files, you should be able to make a small hack to get_iplayer to get the 
value you want.

If you're looking for a way to rename files without the aid of a media 
manager, you can either use get_iplayer options to control the path and 
names of output files, or use an external command to rename files after 
download.  With your desired format, the only limitation with using 
get_iplayer's options is that I don't think there is a way to 
automatically add zero-padding to series and episode numbers.  Of 
course, that doesn't address tag values, but I'm not sure if that's the 
problem you're trying to solve.
