Just by the title I thought to myself "No, you can't" before even opening the thread. I'm glad however the issue wasn't that big, and good job getting your money back. Smiley

Yes, go to blockchain.info and make wallet and then import you private key and you have your coins back.

You do not need to go to blockchain.info...

You can import private key to any client ...

Yeah, that is true, but blockchain.info is easiest way.
And I don't know so much about desktop wallets so told about that one because I use it and I was sure about that.

Blockchain lets you sweep the key and add coins to your existing address and prv key where other clients don't have that feature, multibit for example. I would say just go with blockchain, it's the easiest option.     

The so called "sweep keys" is simply "send the bitcoin to a newly generated address".
So, you could easily do that with any wallet software.
