Is it ok to keep the car on Jack stands even the the area just before where the jack goes is a little bent? My hydraulic jack has a "cup" kind of thing that doesn't exactly fit snug over the jack point so that kinda "adjusts" it self into the grooves a little. It probably has happened from the numerous times that my car has been on a lift in a mechanic shop. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

It should be OK as long as the Jackstand or Jack is placed centered under these points. The front points are critical because I bent/caved in the area just behind the front jack areas.

i think it's OK to use it as i bent mine last year and haven't had any problems.See to it that the stand is placed between the notches.
Take care,
