How do you format a DateTime that's displayed by TextBoxFor() in MVC3?

Question

I have ASP.NET MVC3 installed. I need datepicker with formatted date. I tried this, but it\'s not working (when passing \"{0:dd/MM/yyyy}\" as format parameter, it still does

The syntax is: @Html.TextBoxFor( expression, string format, object htmlAttributes)

eg:

   @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.DateUtc, "{0:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}",
            new { @class = "form-control", placeholder = "Enter Title", id="myDate"})
