ASP.NET is big in enterprise, especially related to government contracting in the US. However most demand currently is in ASP.NET Web Forms although ASP.NET MVC is slowly taking hold.

Good point, Webforms is more prevalent since they have been around for years and are entrenched as legacy in a lot of places. But MVC is making inroads, I've been using it at my job since version 1. Some of it may also come down to recruiters not including MVC yet in their "grocery list" of requirement buzzwords when staffing a position.
The OP might have more luck getting in with a consulting firm if possible since the variety of projects could lead to greater chances of working with MVC and more current .NET tech.
