NuGet packages for DI containers in ASP.NET MVC 3 usually prefer to use WebActivator to avoid messing with any existing code that you might have in Application_Start. Ninject uses exactly the same approach.

You can have multiple WebActivator.PreApplicationStartMethod attributes in your application and prior to .NET 4.5 a single System.Web.PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute.
