I would not have thought that charges would have much to do with ring
planarity. I'm guessing that you will have to post an actual small
example that illustrates the problem, so that we can reproduce it.
Or, you could use parmed to examine all of the dihedral parameters in
the ring atoms: do they all have 2-fold torsions with a force constant near
10? Pay particular attention to the dihedral parameters involving the
pyramidal nitrogen.
