I decided to lift last night since I havent for over a week. I did triceps/back. I just got a new curl bar and was using it on close grip bench. The problem is that the pegs on my bench that usually hold my bar are to far apart to hold my curl bar. I cant really put the bar anywhere else cause with close grip it is over 100 pounds so I cant put it on my lap or anything. What could I do or should i just go back to the straight bar??

You could turn the other way on your bench, if you have 2 milk crates or something like this, set the bar on them, then, reach back and pull it up. When you are done, you will have to do like the part movement of a french curl, and gently put the bar back on the crates.
