Even if you matched the code, the problem is that tv remotes use an infrared signal, which is very sensitive to direction and easily blocked by walls, doors, etc.

Why does a garage door remote open and close door successfully inside of the garage but really hard to open the door out of the garage?

Your car brand won't make any difference. It might be related to the batteries in the remote and the distance to the electronics inside the garage when the opener is outside. You could be trying to open the door from too far away if it happens when you are driving up to the house. If it happens sitting in the driveway check your owners manual in the troubleshooting section. Contact the installer or manufacturer if the manual doesn't help. Regardless, I would check the batteries in the remote first.

I have recently had one of my two Craftsman garage door opener stolen model 139.53779 green light How do I reset the garage door opener so that it will no longer except codes from the stolen remote?

There's a little door somewhere on the garage door opener--the unit hooked to the door itself, not the remote in your car. If you open the door you'll find a little plastic block that has switches on its face. That's where the code is set. Reset it to anything else, making sure to reset the switches in the remote, and the stolen remote will trouble you no further.
