Here is what I do when press all seams, including half square triangles..
First lay the piece on the ironing board flat and press the stitches..
Then lift the top piece and using your iron just above the fabric, lightly press the top piece away from the seam. Dont put undo pressure here, just press it open. This isnt ironing, but pressing..If you use a light hand, you wont have any trouble with the bias edges stretching..
practice it, you will see..
