It’s probably because the air pressure and direction change with the car’s motion. When you turn the car, the vents shift slightly, and the air flow trajectory changes, temporarily directing the flow toward you. It’s like when you blow on your hand and move your head side to side, you can feel the air hit different parts of your hand.
