Default Repairing a love tap to the back

Well, I was being tailgated and I got love tapped from the back. Not much damage. However my passenger 1/4 panel is now slightly pushed into my door. How would I go about fixing this myself? Could I just take a sledge to the door jamb and hammer it out? Or is it a bit more complicated than that?

You can not take a sledge to the door gap cause the whole quarter panel was pushed back. If you hit the jamb all you are gonna do is make a buckle in the quarter because you also have to pull the rear body panel out.
That is definately a pretty hard love tap lol.
