HHHMMMMMmmmm...seems like if it is an older dryer, the drum support rollers may be worn out. This can and will cause the drum to rub against the front of the dryer and snag the laundry inside.
To fix this, the dryer must be disconnected from the power source and the back panel removed. Before going any further, manually push and pull the drum to and from the front of the dryer and see if there's slack in the rollers. You'll probably need a helper for this.
If there's slack, remove the belt then the drum, and replace ALL the rollers at one time. There should only be 2 or 3 depending on the machine, they're not expensive nor are they difficult to replace once you're inside the machine this far. But do them ALL and you won't have to do this again more than likely.
After you reassemble everything and before you reconnect the power, see that the dryer is level. You can adjust this by turning the "feet" under the front of the dryer. This will prevent laundry from "migrating" to the front of the dryer and wearing out the rollers again.

it may be snagging clothes on a sharp edge or flashing on the plastic light assembly overhead of the door. you might just need to take a small piece of fine sandpaper and remove the burr or sharp edge thats snagging stuff..

also one or both of the rollers in the front may be worn, allowing the drum to bear down on the seal more, opening a gap at the bottom to grab your clothes then pulling them around with it, you just happen to catch it when its stopped and sitting still just hanging there.. while u have it apart u might as well check the rest of the rotating parts out for wear, etc and replace while you have it opened up..
hope this helps,
best of luck,
ttfn
