Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

I filed for Bankruptcy, during the process I was told by my attorney that I did not have to continue paying for my car payments during the bankruptcy process. I had to pull out of the Bankruptcy after a few months of the meeting with the trustees because my wife and I were mislead and misunderstood that we were supposed to begin paying the monthly payments plan to the trustee. The case was not fully settled since the paperwork for the bankruptcy process was not complete. So my wife and I did not think we had to start the payment plan until the paper work was fully completed. A few months later, we recieved a noticed stating we were behind on our payments, that we owed $5,000, and this was how much we were behind on our payments to the trustees. My wife and I decided to pull out of the bankruptcy case because we did not have this kind of money. Well during the bankruptcy process, my car was impounded on the order of the bank. I called the bank and tried to explain to them that I was going thru a bankruptcy case. At some time the bank decided to sell my car at an auction, and now I have to pay off the remaining balance. Do I really have to pay off the balance since they took the car ?
