From Just Solve the File Format Problem
DER encoded RSA private key is an RSA private key format that stores the same information as PEM encoded RSA private key, but encoded in DER format instead of PEM format.
Examples

openssl rsa -noout -text -inform DER -in example-der.key
To convert to PEM encoded RSA private key format:
openssl rsa -inform DER -in example-der.key -out example-pem.key
