Why in King Lear does Gloucester say that Regan and Cornwall had kicked him out of his own house when it doesn't seem to have happened?

You are thinking of the following speech by Gloucester:
"Alack, alack, Edmund, I like not this unnatural dealing! When I desir'd their leave that I might pity him, they took from me the use of mine own house, charg'd me on pain of perpetual displeasure neither to speak of him, entreat for him, nor any way sustain him."
What Gloucester says is "they took from me the use of mine own house". That is, they would not allow him to use his house the way he wanted, not that they forbade him from staying there. What Gloucester wanted was to "pity" King Lear, by allowing him to stay in Gloucester's castle. Regan and Cornwall would not allow Gloucester to do so. Imagine your house guests telling you who you could or could not invite into your own house! This is pretty high handed of Regan and Cornwall but does not amount to "kicking him out."
