As a temporary measure I'd suggest using a wodden board, e.g. a piece of chipboard or something just leaned up against the wall - it's what I use inside my garage as it's pretty tight getting out, only thing is it might not look great on the outside of your house, although it only has to be a couple of feet or so high in order to be in line with the most sticky out part of the door.
I agree with other comments that something softer like carpet is better but wood does the trick if all you are doing is making gentle contact.

Just had a thought - since cars have different-profiled sides, you really need ones at several heights, like those Freelander side strakes.
Why not run some clear silicone sealer down some of the bonding courses, or bond in some polythene piping with it?
I am hoping it should look fairly unobtrusive and be waterproof, which wood isn't.

C'mon - hapless DIY pics required 
I'll be doing some time-lapse pics of me knocking through a wall and converting a cavity into an alcove once I get the ok from a builder that it's not load bearing. Could be interesting
