I've always spread the carpet out on a warm sunny day and let the heat from that warm and soften the carpet. It will take on the pressed shape it was made in and lay much better on the floor for install. I then let it sit in the car for a day or 2 to settle before fitting. You'll still have to smooth out and pull on certain areas and a heat gun may help with that inside the car.
