The car had an alignment just before I bought it but the steering wheel is a bit off center. What is the best way to move that back without messing anything else up?

I would worry about how well they did the alignment and take it back there. Could be that the toe in is off and the tie rods are now not adjusted to the same length. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock, count exactly how many turns, then turn back half way and see where the steering wheel is sitting, then adjust the steering wheel to sit there when centered. If you then drive the car and the steering wheel is off, you MUST take back and get the alignment checked
