I know what you mean! This is what I do to avoid the pucker problem:

Open the pocket with two fingers in such a way as the two seams line up. Butt the 2 seams and pin. Then, fold over the top left flap and adjust the pocket so that it is nicely in position against the bottom flap, fold the top flap back over it and pin the layers together near the end of the pocket. Repeat on the right side. Then pin the ends of both sides.

By working from the center out, puckers can be avoided and the edges will hopefully meet up the way they are supposed to!

Hopefully, this is clear!
