Is it possible?

I was involved in a bike vs. car a week ago, and last night was the first time I had looked at my bike very closely since it happened. I already noticed that the front wheel is wobbly, but now I'm also noticing that my pedals are hitting the tire when I turn, and my brake pads have migrated about 1/8" up onto the tire. There are no cracks in the paint or the welds, and everything seems to be pretty solid. Until i looked very closely, I didn't even realize it had been bent. My question is, is it possible to bend it back, or do I need a new fork? Also, if I do need a new fork, is the bike going to be safe to ride until I can afford a new one?

EDIT: No, I have not been riding on the bike with it damaged. I'm still too damaged to be doing any riding.
