The trunk of my car was bent by the wind. What to do?

Question:
The other night a nasty wind storm came through the town I live in and I came home to the trunk of my car blown open. The problem now is that the it is bent. It is bowed and can not be shut. I have no idea where to start and need to get it fixed asap. Anyone have any tips for me? The car is an old 77 Buick Lesabre. Thanks.
