centrifugal force.
Basically, your body is trying to go straight, and the car turns into you. But since the car is more massive then you, it carries you with it. From the reference of the car, it appears that you are flung sideways, but you aren't. It is similar to if you watch someone driving on TV and the camera is moving with them, it looks like the person is staying still, but the background (trees, bushes, and what not) is moving, even though we know it is not.
