First...you probably mean get a loan to buy a house. Part of the BK processs is to start to understand that it isn't yours if you don't pay for it.
Your a bankrupt...it will be a fairly long time until you can get credit again, and in todays credit environment....a mortgage won't be possible until you prove yourself credit worthy for several years with other smaller things.
More importantly, read the documents you swore under oath to abide by with the court, when pleading with them to provide you protection under the BK laws:
You agreed you will not make any new debts, change any financial things much, etc without the approval of your case administrator first. Doing so will have your case dropped and very possibly contempt charges brough by the court. IT IS YOUR SOLEMN SWORN PROMISE AND TESTIMONY to the court....hopefully it means more than those same promises you gave previously to those who you borrowed money from.
- Actually, you can qualify for an FHA mortgage after 12 monthly payments to the Chapter 13 bankruptcy trustee. You must, of course, get the permission of your trustee to incur debt.

Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule.

Because of the "automatic stay", which goes into affect as soon as a Bankruptcy is filed, your car cannot be re-possessed while the Bankruptcy is in progress (unless the creditor files a motion with the court asking for relief from the automatic stay). However, as soon as the Bankruptcy is discharged or closed - which occurs approximately 6 months after it is filed - the car can be re-possessed.
