I get the same culture i.e. "en-US" while running the website from both IIS and Visual Studio's web server.
But I get a different date format as follows, when I run the following code:
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString());
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern);
On Visual Studio's web server: dd/MM/yyyy en-US
On IIS: M/d/yyyy en-US
Does "Regional and Language Options" in "Control Panel" play any role in this ? If I change the date format there in "Regional and Language Options", I see no effect in my application.

In "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Region and Language", on the "Formats" tab, click "Additional settings..." button. Visual Studio 2008 debugger formats dates using "Short date:" from the "Date" tab of "Customize Format".
An important difference is the way worker processes are managed. In IIS, the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) silently activates and deactivates Web applications and the user has no direct control. In IIS Express, there is no WAS and the user has full control of application activation and deactivation.
The IIS server (or rather the ASP.NET worker process) is running under a different account, while the VS web server is running under your user account. Thread.CurrentCulture gets the current culture for the user account the thread is executing as.
