How about breaking a spring clothespin and using one of the pieces as that 'wooden iron' for hand pressing seams. Works great.
For example

I use my seam ripper as a stiletto when I'm sewing

I also use my Kwik Klip tool to help open up seams before pressing. It has saved me many a burnt finger when that seam folds over while I'm trying press it open.
I use old tooth brushes , cut off head and sharpen one end to a point and shave down the other end flat on both sides to use in flattening seams.. it works for me
