Maybe shes too excited after being with your with your friend. Have you tried walking a little to calm her down so its not straight into the car once youve left the house. Also shes not sick on the way there, do you give her anything at your friends like a treat or food?
We had a pup that was sick every time he was in the car. The best way I found was to have him just sitting in the car for a few minutes before taking him out of it. We did this several times a day(poor thing ;) ) before putting him in the car and starting the engine. We didn't go anywhere. Then switched off the engine and took him out for a small walk. We did this for several days before actually taking him anywhere. It took a while but he eventually realised that the car meant 'fun' :D . He hasn't been sick since. Good luck in trying to cure this problem.
You can get sickness tablets if it is a real problem, but it doesn't sound as if it is.
