I did the same thing and ended up buying a new one. Recently someone posted that she put it in the oven on low heat and used a flat surface and heavy books to weigh it down for cooling. According to that member, the mat went flat again. You may want to do a search on cutting mats.

I gave a really large mat to my Mom a few years ago when she showed an interest in quilting, but she only made one quilt before losing the passion. She recently gave it back to me, but had stored it under her bed with half of it on top of a small box so it warped. Thanks for the hot-car-in-the-sun idea, I will try that!

I bought a large one in summer about 4 years ago, put into daughter's car with shopping on top and completely ruined by the time we got back to her house. I tried most things to flatten it again but the bumps remained; now I've followed Alex Anderson's advice and cut it up into smaller mats, discarding the bubbly parts, after buying a new larger one of course!!!
