What you need to do is get the fabric to "relax" a bit.  I've read you 
can do this by soaking it in a solution of water and a little bit of 
baby shampoo or fabric softener.  And then steam will work, too - if you 
don't have a steamer (what - you don't have a steamer?) then your 
favorite iron would probably do....
