"Used to" refers to habitual action, while "was used to" refers to the process of getting accustomed to something. Used to = habit in the past
"I used to smoke, but now I don't."

Is / are used to = be accustomed to something now:
"I am used to driving on the right."

Was / were used to = be accustomed tp something in the past:
"I was used to driving on the left, then I left the UK and came to Europe."

Was used to / used to aren't exactly the same. "Used to" refers to habitual action, while "was used to" refers to the process of getting accustomed to something.
