On my side it just inserts in the buffer: <2020-11-18 Wed> but does
not ask me automatically for calendar to be chosen. The documentation says:

‘C-c <’ (‘org-date-from-calendar’)
     Insert a timestamp corresponding to point date in the calendar.

So when you open calendar with {M-x calendar RET} you may move cursor
in calendar and then move to Org buffer and invoke {C-c <} and you
will get the date from cursor that was in calendar.

Another way of adjusting this below is by using SHIFT-arrows

<2020-11-16 Mon>
