Inertia. You want to go straight, the car (door) [you should be wearing seat belt] is forcing you to curve.

You press against the side of the car due to your inertia; as a result, the car pushes back.

Why does sediment erode on the outside curve of a stream?

Rivers "carry" their sediment load only as long as the velocity of the water remains high enough to create sufficient turbulence to keep the particles "stirred up". Once a river loses its velocity and the stirring effect of the turbulence subsides the sediment load can no longer remain suspended in the water. At this point gravity takes over and the river begins to "drop" its sediments in a process named deposition.Now a river going around a curve is like two tires at each end of an axle going around a curve. The tire on the outside of the curve has to move faster than the tire on the inside of the curve since it has a longer radius of travel. So too the water in the river moves faster at the outside of the curve than the water inside the curve. Between the two different water velocities the deposition is going to occur on the inside curve of the river where the water loses its velocity.Conversely, the opposite of deposition which is erosion will take place at the outside of the curve in the river.

Why do you feel thrown to the outside when a car in which you are riding goes around a curve even though there is no force acting on you in that direction?

You are not being thrown against the car, the car is being thrown against you!!More specifically, you are continuing to go straight as no force is acting on you. As the car goes around the curve the force between the road and its tires accelerates it sideways. The car is now going in a different direction than you are, resulting in a collision between you and the car. At this point (ouch) there is a force between you and the car that accelerates you sideways also until both you and the car are again going straight in the same direction coming out of the curve.
