I believe it has something to do with the theory of relativity, right? You're only moving at the speed relative to your surroundings (or container). So, relative to the car, the fly isn't moving at all. Same thing with the person in a jet; relative to the person's surroundings, he is not moving.
Let's hope that had any shred of truth to it as it's been many years since I've had a physics class and my brain is a bit hazy. I just hope I didn't make the whole thing up just now.
