A leak in the brake booster is one common reason why a car would stall or hesitate when the brakes are pushed. There could also be an obstruction in the brake line.

What causes the feeling of being pushed in a car when the car accelerates?

It's called inertia, and it means that stuff resist change. Braking your body has gotten used to travelling forward, so when the car brakes you get thrown forward. If you're standing still your body has gotten used to that too, so when the car takes off you get pushed into the seat.
