My car dies out when backing out of the driveway.

Every morning, rather the car has been warming up for 20 minutes or five minutes, when backing out of my driveway and shifting from reverse to drive the car just shuts off but I am able to start it and go right after. It happens more when I back out to the left then to the right (I know, weird). It only does it when I leave in the morning so when I leave work in the evening its fine. Could it be a sensor? It is so annoying. Thank you!
