Cornering is alot like being a hit man; you probably know how to do but you suck at it because something in your head tells you to stop. I have the same issue.
You're also more than likely bad in the context of who you're racing against (great bike handlers).
I asked 3x CX Champion about cornering and his recommendation for road was to ride around a baseball diamond (in MTB padding) and go progressively faster. Seems good as most bad cornerers are afraid of pushing their limits and this mitigates that fear factor.
