Get a fine pair of long needle nose pliers, and be very careful. The pins are not meant to be bent, and can snap off easily. Try to straighten the pins by squeezing the pliers, rather then by bending the pins.

Good Luck!

I don't like grabbing pins, I use a thin knife blade to PUSH them back!

what works really good is a mechanical pencil. take out the lead and fit the hollow tube over the bent pin. bend it back into shape as you move down the pin. works really well1
