Is this the sort of thing you’re trying to achieve?

I did it quite quickly with Chris Fullmer’s Shape Bender which is in the Extension Warehouse.

Another option would be the plugin FredoScale (or for more complex shapes: Flowify) …

You can do this by hand with enough patience. Add a few vertical dividers (edges), then carefully select each section, and use the rotate tool. However, as mentioned an extension makes it easier once you have learned to use the extension.
