Default Adjust door/door closing hard/sticking

I have a 2002 x-type 3.0 stick. It is no longer my main car and has been sitting in my garage. I started it a few months ago, but hadn't had time again until today. Battery was dead and I had a guy coming over to do a detail on it. I figured I'd just roll it out of the garage. Not the smartest thing I have ever done. Not a lot of room around the car and as it started to roll out I tried to hop in and the door was open just a little to much..... Long story short smashed my hand between the end of the car door and the garage door rails. When I did get the car out I went to shut the door and....

It's slightly off now. I can see where the striker pin is just off now from the door latch. It will close, but hard. Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks!

either sit on the door and bend it back, or use a big hammer failing that you might need a new door hinge(s) Best of luck!
