I always have the same problem with my parents. Thus, they bought a truck, and I pay the payments on it/gas/insurance. This causes a good dent in my pocket, but its a decent sacrifice.
However, since you don't seem to have the money, perhaps you could try saving for like 6 months, and buy a car for $500. They ARE out there, and if you put a little bit of work into it, it can get you from point A to point B.
I agree with pretty much everyone on here. Its your Mom's car, and therefore her decision to not let you use it. Before I was paying for my own truck, I had to ask for permission, and they always messed up my plans. You gotta live with it, I guess. Or, alternatively, if anyone lives remotely close to you, give them $5 for gas every time they pick you up or something like that.
Best of luck.
