Default Remove crease/line in leather?

Unfortunately, I let someone wearing some tacky buttoned back pocket jeans in my car and somehow they managed to put a crease or line in the passenger seat cushion of my S5. The leather in the car is Nappa which is a bit different than the leather in my old S2000; less durable but higher quality. Anyway, it's been seeming to remove itself over a few days but I want to know if:

1. It will remove itself completely by re-stretching itself.
2. If I can do anything to speed up the process - I've read things online about ironing but that seems kinda scary.

There is no puncture or discoloration from stretching, just a crease.

I would try some very judicious use of a hairdryer on low or medium first. Do not hold it too close or too long in one spot, take your time and do not overheat the surface. It will probably return to it's original condition on it's own if left alone, but give this a try. hope this helps!

Thanks, Vanishing Point. This worked well. I dampened the area with distilled water and used the low setting and after a few tries it diminished quite a bit!
