Depends what they are. With solanaceae (chillis, tomatoes, aubergines, etc) you can transplant the seedlings so that they are deeper in the soil, put them in improved light, and in a few weeks you'll never know they were spindly. When they have a few leaves, you can prune the top of to encourage them to bush out, if appropriate, also. But such tactics can be inappropriate for other kinds of plants.
