How to implement jQuery inputmask to @Html.TextBoxFor()

I have an @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Expiration, new {@placeholder="MM/YY"}) that I'm trying to apply RobinHerbots jquery.inputmask (http://ift.tt/1yHWP3N) to so as the user types they would see something similar to

Starting: MM/YY

After First Character: 0M/YY

Second Character: 04/YY

and so on.

I've applied

$("#Expiration").inputmask({mask:"MM/YY",greedy:false});

However I get MM/YY in my text input without being able to click on it. Any assistance would be great.
