Look at the input form of the \[Epsilon]^(K2*P1*P2*K1), because what you
see is just a format used to display the contraction of LeviCivita tensor
with four 4-momenta.
Substitution rules work for the InputForm expressions. This is basically
not a FeynCalc question but a Mathematica programming question. You can
specify the custom tensor with Tensorfunction as follows
>>> Tensorfunction[t, mu, nu, ...]
See http://www.feyncalc.org/FeynCalcBook/Tensorfunction/index.html for
details.
Additionally I would suggest substituting the contractions of your tensor
with four-vectors after the FeynCalc will contract the lorentz indices for
you with the vector components.
I.e. you do not need to specify the tensor in components as you mentioned
phi_mu_nu = diag{0,1,1,0} but specify it as a substitution rules for tensor
contracted with two arbitrary 4-vectors and its trace.
