Fuel door problems

I have been having problems with my fuel door. The thing sits in a little from the rest of the body and interferes with it when I am opening it. When I go to the gas station, I have to pull the door out and open it rather than just open it(that was a little confusing, I know) so that if I don't it scratches the paint on the fuel door and body. Anybody know how to adjust it so that it sits flush with the rest of the body?
