Just take it where you can get an alignment. Unless you know how to check it yourself at your place. Enough of your suspension geometry can be knocked out to where it can still drive straight, and have the steering wheel off a bit.

are you sure you just only hit the back.
Sometimes if you hit the rear hard enough, the car can track along the road sideways, where the front and rear wheels doesnt line up straight with each other. That can also make your steering crooked.
Drive on the road and let somebody follow you from about 3-4 cars lenght behind and look at the tires and see if they follow exactly behind the other.

Get an alignment. Tell the technicians what happened so they can look for damage.
If you don't listen to the above advice, then you just wasted your time making this forum thread. If you can't afford the alignment, then you can't afford the worn tires and possible additional damage to the car that will result from driving it.
