I have heard (no exact reference available) that the acaryas explain that there is an higher purpose behind Yudhisthira being taken to hell. Indra wanted to deliver all the residents of hell by giving them the association of a pure devotee like King Yudhisthira. bhavad-vidha bhagavatas tirtha-bhutah svayam vibho tirthi-kurvanti tirthani svantah-sthena gadabhrta TRANSLATION My Lord, devotees like your good self are verily holy places personified. Because you carry the Personality of Godhead within your heart, you turn all places into places of pilgrimage. (SB 1.13.10) Even a moment's association with a pure devotee has ultimate results like the scriptures repeatedly point out.
