"Used to" shows that something occured in the past, but does not occur anymore.
For example:
"I used to work as a business administrator, but now I work as a finance officer.
This sentence shows that I previously worked as a business administrator, but now I do not. Now, I work as a finance officer.
"To get used to" something means to grow accustomed to or to become familiar with.
For example:
Although it may be uncomfortable at first, the more Jill wears high heels, the more she will get used to them.
This sentence shows that wearing high heels is an uncomfortable experience for Jill as she does not wear high heels often (it is unfamiliar to her). However, as Jill wears high heels more often, she will become more familiar with, or "get used to", the experience of wearing high heels.
Hope this helps :)
