Penny Linn has posted a video on their Facebook page explaining how to get creases out of needlepoint canvas.
To summarize for those who don't have a FB account, get a clean white towel, put the canvas down on top of the towel near an edge, then fold over the towel to make a sandwich of towel-canvas-towel. Use an iron on the cotton/wool setting and press down on the towel. Go over the entire canvas area with the iron. You may have to do this several times. They don't mention using steam, but you can, although it softens the canvas threads slightly so the piece is no longer quite as stiff. Probably better to just use pretty high heat on your iron.
