You could decorate the DateTime property on your view model with the [DisplayFormat] attribute which allows you to specify a given format:

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MMM-yy}")]
public DateTime SomeDate { get; set; }

and in your strongly typed view use the EditorFor helper to render the corresponding input field:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.SomeDate)

As far as binding the value back to a DateTime field when posting back is concerned you could write a custom model binder that will use this format. I have shown an example here.
