This is a common phenamenon when the atmosphere air is dry (generally during winter). When you are sitting inside the car for some time, you generate a static charge and it gets released when you touch metalic handle of the car

∙ 8y agoIt is probably a static electricity shock. As you slide across the seat your body picks up an additional amount of electrons. When you touch the door the additional electrons discharge to maintain a balance . This happens more on dry days than on moist, wet or damp days. It is the same phenomenon when you shuffle you feet across a rug and then touch a door knob.
