It was in his pocket. He took it off at the Hound Pits as usual after returning from a mission, then he got poisoned and was dumped in the Flooded District, where he was found by Daud's men. He put it back on when he woke up in that hole. I assume he had it with him all the time.

So the question remains, why didn't Daud take it? If he didn't know Corvo was the Masked Felon, he perhaps would not have searched for it. But we know that he knew. If we follow the main game, Daud found out when his men delivered Corvo to him, so he probably DID search him. If we follow the DLCs, Daud even knew it quite a while before he even found Corvo at the Refinery, so he must also have known that Corvo had the mask.
