You can be a Consecrated Virgin in a cloistered religious order. Being a Consecrated Virgin is not limited to "living in the world."

Yes, a woman in a religious community may receive consecration as a virgin after, or at the same as her profession of vows. However, this is distinct from the rite used “in saeculo” or in the world. This documentary was a parish feature and so, necessarily focused on two women preparing for the rite “in saeculo” In the case of the nun, the consecration is enacted by additional rite, which, while it may permitted by her community, is not strictly necessary, according to the form of consecrated life to which she has already been called. (That is, she could continue to be a nun without ever receiving ‘consecration virginum’). If she did receive it, she would remain in her community while living it out. On the other hand the case of the diocesan nuptial vocation of consecrated virginity lived in the world, the woman who has been called to that specific vocation receives the consecration with the understanding and intention that she will exercise the charism of virginity while continuing to live her life in the place and circumstances in which she finds herself.
