I followed Ham and other's suggestions from earlier postings and just iron on the carpet.
I've found that if I open the kilt up and then sort of toss it up in the air a few feet off the floor the airborne time give it a chance to align itself pretty well by the time it lands on the carpet. Then I just straighten the pleats a bit before ironing.
If I try to lay it on the carpet myself I wind up doing a lot of tugging and rearranging. I think my kilts enjoy flying.
Just to clarify, that's for my non-traditionals...not sure wool would work that way.
