It's a toughy. You could try and split and straighten the trunk and make it into a Formal upright but even with a bender and some rod it will take a while. I have some Shimpaku junipers out in the field that have the dreaded bend and a 45 degree angle that just don't make good single specimens. Like was mentioned before, they go well in forest plantings.
