Bend the whip on a magmount?

I want to put my 2M 5/8-wave mag-mount on the trunk lid, which slopes
down at 20 degrees. I am concerned that most of my signal is going
into the ground or outer space.

Can I bend the long whip so it stands vertically? Should I do it?
does the downward slope of the ground plane leave a problem
unaddressed?
