As long as your virtual environment is activated pip will install packages into that specific environment and you'll be able to import and use packages in your Python application.
pip is a tool for installing packages from the Python Package Index. virtualenv is a tool for creating isolated Python environments containing their own copy of python , pip , and their own place to keep libraries installed from PyPI.
pip install PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL
This is due to changes in the new version of Pip. Run pip --version and I'm willing to bet you are running 1.5. See the changelog here. This new default behavior enhances security. In PIL's case, the file you are installing actually comes from effbot.org (thus --allow-external) and PyPi doesn't have a checksum to guarantee validity (thus --allow-unverified).
Also, you might consider using the Pillow replacement to PIL.
