I just learned one from an Anita Solomon Grossman book which she uses when starching large quantities of fabric. I rarely startch, but I love this tip: partially dry your fabric and throw it in the fridge or better yet the freezer. Iron when you have time. Something about the coldness of the fabric makes it iron even smoother. Don't know why, but it sure works, especially when I don't have time to iron and don't want the fabric to get too dry or go sour.
I haven't read through the whole post on this topic so apologies if I'm repeating. My favourite tip is to keep a spray bottle filled with half water and half white vinegar by the ironing board. Brilliant for getting those creases out both in clothes or fabric especially calico (or muslin as you call it) which creases horribly after washing.
