Default Driver side door issues

I used to be a cereal "look keys in jeep" offender. The door has been pried open too many times And now it closes with a big gap tht wind and rain pours into. I was thinking about clamping a peice of wood on both sides and trying to muscle it back into shape. Any suggestions?

If it's only the window frame part of the door that is bent out of alignment. You can easily bend it back. But, You have to move it back into place very slowly and a little at a time. Or you could end up breaking the widow frame at the bottom where it attaches to the body of the door.
