When pressing ... you may be able to stretch (only slightly) to straighten, as mentioned by Laurafet. Blocking is basically the same, just that when you press and stretch you pin it in place til it has cooled and dried. Using the Best Press will help with the blocking process, as it not only moistens, but then the starch holds it still too.
Another thing that could have caused your distortion ... did you press? or iron?
