In the book, when Saruman took Gandalf to the top of Orthanc, there is no specification made as to whether or not he took his staff. Because of the nature of the wizards' staffs, I tend to think Saruman did not take Gandalf's staff from him.
In the movie, when he escapes from Orthanc, he gets a new staff, not his old one back.
