You can bolt the seat down, either to a solid platform outside the car, or to the mounts inside the car, then get two 2x4s that are about two feet longer than the seat backs are wide. Sandwich the backrest in between the 2x4s, and put a bolt through each outer end of the 2x4s to hold them clamped firmly on the seat. Then have a friend help you carefully twist the seat straight. If you are a large person, you might consider having the seat frames reinforced at an upholstery shop. Whether you are large or not, you have to be gentle getting ito and out of the car. If you just fall down into the seat, you are bound to bend it again. I'm 6'3" and 190lbs and my Recaros seem to be holding up fine.
Good Luck
Colin
