Is it just because the viewpoint is different from the right seat and not used to it? I don't remember having to step on the left rudder when landing from the left seat...Kind of bugs me because my landings used to be so smooth and now they are back to student-pilot quality. I need to figure it out now so I don't have people screaming in the back on my first commercial landing
