Default vane straightening

Does anyone know of a way to straighten plastic vanes that are wrinkled. I have a few and would like to reuse them if posible.

Better question is what is causing them to wrinkle?

Thanks for the tips. I used to have a whisker bisquit the wrinkled them but I got rid of that. Now i'm using a sheet of plywood as a backstop for my target so if I have a really bad day and miss the target the arrow will usually sink up to the vanes. Beats losing them i guess.
