Getting creases out of headliner material?

Has anyone done this or know how to? The material I got has some annoying creases in it; I had it sitting folded for a couple weeks. I'll go get more material as a last resort, but would like to hear some suggestions first.

One possible solution might be just letting it sit open (relaxed) for a day or two (it [i]may[i/] return to it's original shape).
The other, warming it with steam from an iron (i.e.: place a washcloth/towel over affected area and then steam over it, cloth and liner, with an iron).
Neither a definate solution (for headliner material) but, it may/maynot help, it won't get worse at least.
