Not sure about command line but you can change the app pool defaults for just your site in applicationHost.config:

<site name="MySite" id="9">
    <application path="/" applicationPool="Clr2ClassicAppPool">
        <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\path\to\MySite" />
    </application>
    <bindings>
        <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:8280:localhost" />
    </bindings>
</site>
