I just bought proton torpedoes since I got to level 50, but I don't know how to use them. They're not in the hotkey-bar in space combat and I can't find anything in the keybindings section of the options.
How do I use them?

From http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=1200623:
This is different from regular missiles where you can just single click or drag over top without remaining over the target.
Edit: After obtaining and using them, I can verify that Killer's answer is also somewhat correct. They are only usable on "heavily shielded" targets: those that would normally take 4+ missiles (in the harder missions), such as the target on the bottom of space stations and all 5 shielded targets on Super Star Destroyers (or whatever the larger frigates are called). The shields on the smaller ships can't be targeted with the torpedoes.
Note that I said 5 above — Killer's assertion that there are never more than 4 targets you can use the torpedoes on is incorrect, especially since there is more than one ultra-ship in some missions. The (now deleted) answer he quotes was actually also correct — you can't use regular missiles on a heavily-shielded target unless (a) you are out of proton torpedoes or (b) you have fired a torpedo and it has not yet hit its target.
