For example, should a character with acrobatic skill be able to apply its bonus to Dex saving throw to avoid trap? Or charecter with Athletic skill - to get out of a web spell.

Otherwise. you land prone." Why i cant in other cases& And where is the rule, that says, what i cant do it?   P.S. Sorry for my english

If they're not the one in control of the situation, it's a Saving Throw.   There might be some slight overlap, but usually in those situations there's a specific effect that will tell you what one to roll.
