Here are some ideas

gr[a_] := Plot[x^(1 - a) (1 - x)^a, {x, 0, 1},
  PlotStyle -> Darker[Hue[a]]]

cgr = Show[Table[gr[a], {a, 0, 1, 0.2}]]

a = -1; Show[Graphics3D[
  Cases[cgr,
   Line[pts_] :>
    {a++; Darker[Hue[a/5]],
     Line[Append[#, a/5] & /@ pts]},
   Infinity]],
 Graphics3D @@ (cgr /. {
     (a_ -> b_) -> Sequence[],
     {x_?NumericQ, y_?NumericQ} :>
      {x, y, -0.2}}),
 Axes -> True]

You may also want to look at Rotate and related geometric transforms

Is it possible to define 3D plane somehow and coordinates on it and
then place previously made 2D graphic object on it?
