I'm using a left sidebar in bootstrap and i wanted to skew the background, my problem was with the padding when it was active, and I solved it. sometimes little things can't be seen!

height: 100%;
margin-left: -270px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #222;
transform:skew(-30deg);

-moz-transition: all 0.4s ease 0s;
-ms-transition: all 0.4s ease 0s;
-o-transition: all 0.4s ease 0s;
transition: all 0.4s ease 0s;
}
.sidebar-nav {

width: 550px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0 0 0 100px;
list-style: none;
transform:skew(30deg);
}
