I dont drive, but I use the bus a lot, and I have discovered that the Ayreon albums are great if you are in a car or bus, so there goes my choice.
Also, sometimes when I go with a friend of mine who likes prog in his car we usually listen to the Yes album.

The Sky Moves Sideways (Porcupine Tree) is a good driving listen.

It's called my daily commute. Today it was Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. I carry 16 CD's in my car and replace them every week. Even I don't know what I'll listen to next, but you can bet it'll be whatever strikes my fancy at the time...

Call me weird, but for me it dependson a variety of factors, such as weather and time of day

Sunny: Something happy and upbeat, usually The Flower Kings, Chick Corea, The Tangent, or some lighter fare such as Keane or the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Raining: Something dark, usually Dream Theater, Opeth, or Pain of Salvation - most prog-metal, basically
Night-time: Something soothing and melancholy, but which won't put me to sleep! Sigur Ros, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, maybe some Tool.
Of course, there rules do not apply within the first few days of my receiving of a new CD, which will thus get first priority in the car CD player

I second LA Woman...the title track is also an awesome driving song.  Riders on the Storm, especially when rainy.

I like In the Land of Grey and Pink for prog.

I would put on "Living in the Past" by Tull, skip over to "Driving Song" and repeat it over and over for 45 minutes.

I rarely drive, but I think "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen would be a good choice.

Not very prog but "L.A. Woman" by the Doors - includes the greatest driving song ever -"Riders on the storm".
If it is to be prog then "Ashes are burning" by Renaissance - the title track also being wonderful in the car
