Ok, after more experimentation with the package I discovered that you need
to create an appendices environment then all of the package options are
correctly used. So, directly after the 'start appendix here' command you
need to insert ERT\begin{appendices} and after all of your appendix material
an ERT\end{appendices} just like an environment.

I've attached a minimal example that changes the appendix style from:

A Title
to
Appendix A Title

in both the document and the toc.

I think it would be nice to post this info on the wiki (although I've never
personally posted anything), since this is the second time I've asked this
question and not received a response. Or is this just not very important to
the majority of people (hence no need to post to the wiki)? I don't know. I
just think it is good info, since the documentation isn't necessary clear
about the use of the 'appendices environment' and someone very new to
LyX/LaTeX may not even know how to use an environment definition. Since the
majority of packages don't need this type of definition to use the
\usepackage[options]{package} command in the preamble.

Cheers,
