DateTime DisplayFormat seems to have no effect (MVC5, Razor)

Issue:

I had declared in my model the following

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")]
public DateTime? AuditDate { get; set; }

  @Html.EditorFor(model => model.AuditDate, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
           
But it was not working!

Then I noted that the Default Displayformat is defined to work with @Html.Display or @Html.DisplayFor and inorder to get it working with Editor controls you need to apply ApplyFormatInEditMode = true.
