I originally dismissed this as a problem because my whole website was under 10MB. Is it normal for a website to use such a proportion of resources?

The size of a web site has nothing / not much to do with memory consumption. You can store a 100MB object in session state with just a few lines of code ;-)
So, I guess it all comes down to what you do and how that affects memory. Do you store lots of objects in session or application state? Do you have a long session timeout? Are you, for example, generating images on the fly and do not dispose of all your objects? Could you have other memory leaks by not using a using statement (or calling Dispose in a Finally block) on disposable objects such as ObjectContexts or SqlConnections?
You may want to take a look at red Gate's memory Profiler:
