Refers to when you make friendly eye-contact with one or more occupants of a neighboring dwelling, and thus you do not have to actually knock on their door to make it acceptable for you to go on in.
My neighbors down the street have known me for decades and have always welcomed me in to "shoot da breeze for a few"; they often hang out around the dinner-table in their large-glass-windowed kitchen, anyway, and so they can easily notice me as I amble up the front walk. So I always just watch for them to glance up and give me affable nods as I near their glass storm-door; this is my implied door-knock, and so I know that I can just stroll right on in and sit down with them.

The pressure by your peers to do something that they didn't even tell you to do.
Bob: "Hey, guess what? Everyone in this room, all 15 of us, has done cocaine! Yay! Well except for Drew."
*Everyone stares at Drew and the cocaine that's sitting right next to him*
Drew: "Fuck you guys and your Implied Peer Pressure. Fine, Ill do the fucking cocaine!"

Da universal understanding dat you may hurriedly "scramble in and close da door" of a dwelling or vehicle during a sudden heavy rain if said enclosure's owner initially observes your headlong dash towards him, and thus he will not be started by your high-speed entry.
A downpour-period-implied permission to enter is something like an implied door-knock, since in both instances, you aren't expected to wait outside for someone to answer da door. Now of course, once you do get in, da respectful procedure is to stop just inside da door and wheezingly catch yer breath, then make some jokingly-indignant remark like, "Okay --- who ordered da monsoon?!" Dat puts everyone inside da room at ease, and then --- unless you'd merely entered to avoid getting soaked, in which case da polite and least-interrupting action might be to just stand by da door till da rain eases up --- you can state what you'd wanted.
