Bent or non-parrallel droppouts will cause the wheel to slip, can even cause the quick release to bend.
Is the bend outside the droppouts or inside the droppouts?
An impact can also bend the quick release.
Assuming the bend is inside the droppouts, the entire rear axle is likely bent. The temporary fix is to rotate the axle at the cone retaining nuts (the entire axle not the cones & nuts on the axle) in whatever position aligns your wheel best, most likely with the bend downward. Even then, it is going to slip occasionally. The bend would be a precursor to breakage so you will eventually need replace that
axle.
