I have a neat prog called ``tardy'' which is a tar post-processor.
When I unpack, I use
gzcat linux-2.1.XXX |
tardy --remove-prefix=linux --prefix=linux-2.1.XXX |
tar xvf -
which unpacks it into the linux-2.1.XXX directory instead of the linux
directory. (For suitable values of XXX.)

You can get the tarball from
