possible duplicate of "I use to", or "I used to". Note that in some constructions there's no definitive consensus on whether it should be spelled use or used (it being an orthographic distinction that can't always be made in speech, and the grammar/tense issue is murky, to say the least).– FumbleFingersCommented Dec 12, 2014 at 14:55

Strictly speaking, you might use this construction in cases like:
This is my car, which I use to get to work.
However, I suspect that what you're really thinking of is the phrase "used to."
"used to" + the infnitive expresses an imperfect past tense. "Used to" + gerund is equivalent to "accustomed to". The two are completely separate in meaning.
