I think that I would use a pressing cloth. Or is it plastic? If plastic, then I would be afraid to iron it.
Otherwise you could lay it flat on something smooth and flat in the sun, or else direct hot air from a hair dryer at it.

This might sound sacriligious, but I'd use a push pin; hang it front side out and take it down whenever I wanted to use it. Then both sides would be available. I have a colour wheel and like to hold my fabric against it, so hanging on a wall is not the most useful place.
Alternatively, you could laminate it, punch two holes in it, string the holes and hang it from the string. That way you could flip from side to side without taking it down.

Is it a heat fused laminate or clear contact paper type of laminate?
Heat fused is available at most print shops and is much stiffer than clear contact paper, but it does cost more and tends to last quite a bit longer than clear contact paper type laminate.
If you piece the laminate, one of two things will happen - you will not line up the pieces exactly causing an overlap or missing section. Overlap makes it extra stiff, missing section means a spot will eventually tear. It is the old time and cost vs convenience argument. How badly do you want it done now? Whatever you decide is the right answer, just be comfortable with your choice.
