87 240 bumper pushed in & stuck 200 1987

We just bought this 240GL that is body beautiful, except for the front bumper. It's pushed in on the right side & stuck there. There's a little bent metal in the strip above the bumper, behind the chrome strip, but otherwise not badly damaged. My question is, looking at it w/vague laws of physics wafting about, it looks possible to drive the car gently up against a wall or concrete pole, pressing in the center to left third of the bumper, to equalize the "in pressure" from side to side, & hopefully, when the car backs up, the right side will pop out. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did it fix? Is my theory possible? Thanks in advance for any & all suggestions.
