After 30 minutes of freestyle experimenting I finally get it working.

So, guys, solution is following

Model

 [Bind(Include = "FirstName,MiddleName,LastName,Position,TruckTypeID,Direction,Organization,Objective,TimeStart,TimeEnd")]
    public partial class UserRequestRegisterModel
    {
        [DisplayName("Имя")]
        [Required]
        public string FirstName { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Фамилия")]
        [Required]
        public string MiddleName { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Отчество")]
        [Required]
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Должность")]
        [Required]
        public string Position { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Тип транспорта")]
        [Required]
        public System.Guid TruckTypeID { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Направление")]
        [Required]
        public string Direction { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Организация")]
        [Required]
        public string Organization { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Цель")]
        [Required]
        public string Objective { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Время убытия")]
        [Required]
        // [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy  HH:mm}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
        public System.DateTime TimeStart { get; set; }

        [DisplayName("Время прибытия")]
        [Required]
        // [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
        public Nullable<System.DateTime> TimeEnd { get; set; }        
    }


public partial class RequestUserModel
    {
        public List<UserRequestViewItem> UserRequestViewItems { get; set; }
        public UserRequestRegisterModel UserRequest { get; set; }

        public RequestUserModel()
        {
            UserRequestViewItems = new List<UserRequestViewItem>();
            UserRequest = new UserRequestRegisterModel();
        }
    }

HTML

@model TransportRequests.Models.RequestUserModel
...

@using (Html.BeginForm("CreateUserRequest", null, FormMethod.Post, null))
{
   @Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserRequest.FirstName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control", @style = "width:200px" } })
}

Controller

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult CreateUserRequest([Bind(Include = "UserRequest")] RequestUserModel model)
{
     // and here all properties has inputed values... YEAH!!!  :)

     var firstName = model.UserRequest.FirstName;

     return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
