untar .tar.gz file to a specific file

Hi,

I'll get a tarred file from a remote location in the format of .tar.gz which my program needs to un-tar it into a specific destination foler and a file

Incoming file
Code:
/local/server/source/path/remote_file.txt.tar.gz

Extracted file
Code:
/local/server/destination/path/un-tar/stage_file.txt

Command I'm using
Code:
tar -C /local/server/destination/path/un-tar -zxvf /local/server/source/path/remote_file.txt.tar.gz stage_file.txt

but that's not what is happening......the un-tarred file though gets created in path /local/server/destination/path/un-tar but with the name remote_file.txt and NOT stage_file.txt!! Is there a way out?
