Play with the code a bit. Otherwise pretty sure it's impossible. You CAN do this in image editing software, such as Paintshop, etc.

#skewed {
font: 21px Impact, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
background: #ccc
}
#skewed {
 width:             350px;
 height:            140px;

 -moz-transform:    skew(-5deg, -5deg);
 -o-transform:      skew(-5deg, -5deg);
 -webkit-transform: skew(-5deg, -5deg);
 transform:         skew(-5deg, -5deg);
}

<div id="skewed">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque eu metus nisi. Integer non adipiscing massa. Etiam et diam magna. Mauris sit amet arcu dui, a malesuada erat.</div>

 <!--[if IE]>
 <style>
 /*
 * The following two rules are for IE only and
 * should be wrapped in conditional comments.
 * The -ms-filter rule should be on one line 
 * and always *before* the filter rule if

 */

#skewed {

  /* IE8+ - must be on one line, unfortunately */ 
 -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(M11=1, 
 M12=-0.08748866352592455,M21=-0.08748866352592455, M22=1, 
 SizingMethod='auto expand')";

 /* IE6 and 7 */ 
 filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(
        M11=1,
        M12=-0.08748866352592455,
        M21=-0.08748866352592455,
        M22=1,
        SizingMethod='auto expand');

  margin-left: -9px; 
  margin-top: -18px;
