The address for a compressed key is different from that of an uncompressed key. So you have to import the compressed key or you won't be able to access your coins.
OK, thanks for the information.
I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to use Electrum's built-in console.
When I used the menu Wallet>Private keys>import then it accepted the keys in L**** format correctly.

Those are compressed keys and you can import them as is using Electrum 1.9 or higher. You can't use them at all with older versions of electrum.
I have dumped 2 private keys from my Bitcoin-QT wallet, and they are in L**** format.
How can I get these keys in 5**** format, so that I can import them into an Electrum wallet?
I can't really transfer the funds, as they are mostly bitdust, plus I want to keep the same addresses in Electrum.
