  Edit Answer (for another -22 minute) I'm not absolutely certain about this, but I believe that the position of the hinges can be adjusted, by loosening the bolts which fasten the hinges to the door jamb, then moving the door to the desired position, and re-tightening the bolts. Sometimes it is necessary to support the door with a block of wood on a jack; in order to keep it in place while the bolts are loose. Of course, if the hinges have been bent, then they would have to be replaced. And, if the sheet metal where the hinges attach to the door has been bent, it must be straightened. (0)(0) Report It

  Edit Answer (for another -37 minute) In an effort to save money some cars come with welded hinges which don't allow for much adjustment. If the metal wasn't stretched you probably could adjust it. More than likely though you're looking at minimal replacing the hinges which isn't too bad. Either way, I'd take it to a shop before more damage is done by opening and closing the door.
