According to Newton's First Law, an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by another force. Your body is in motion with the car, therefore it wants to remain in motion. It takes more force to stop moving than it does to keep moving, just like it takes more force to move an object at rest than it does to just keep the object moving when it already is in motion. The force is the change in momentum with respect to time.
NOTE: Despite previous answers, Inertia is NOT a force. It is the tendency of an object to remain in whatever state of motion it is in. A force is what is required to overcome inertia.

Inertia. A body will continue to move in the direction it is travelling until an external or resultant force is exerted on it.

inertia, because you're moving with the car and your inertia makes you keep moving until something (like a seatbelt, or a windsheild if you're not lucky) makes you stop

Inertia.
Your body wants to continue the motion forward.
