How do rockets launch a spacecraft into a circular orbit?

This sounds like a stupid question but the reason I am confused is because during a Hohmann transfer, a boost on one side of the planet puts a rocket into an ellipse, so why do rockets during launch automatically place spacecraft into a circular orbit? Or am I missing something?
