Simple static electricity! You build up a charge by moving back and forth across the seat when driving and your body stores this charge. Also, it is heightened by the cold and low humidity, as Ant said. When you get out, your body releases the charge and you get zapped. It's like shuffling across a room with **** carpet in wool socks and touching a doorknob. Fun, huh?

how are you going to hold it while the door is closed?

It's easy with practice!

To avoid shocks when getting out of the car -
OPEN THE DOOR AND HOLD the metal door frame (any part)before put you feet on the ground.
