I have found a decent trick to help reduce the creases.... I lay the cheesecloth over the top of the mould, but don't press it down into the cavity.... I turn the cheese over, place it on the cloth and allow the weight of it to pull the cloth down into the mould.... I add another piece of cloth on top (or fold over one side), and add the follower.... Then I hold the follower down, and pull up on the cloth all around the edge to remove as much excess cloth at possible....
You always get a few wrinkles, you can get rid of them by turning the cheese and placing it back in the mold after your last pressing, without cheesecloth, then press gently.... Usually 1/2 psi for 1/2 hour is enough to get rid of the wrinkles.... and it will help make both sides of the cheese the same shape as well, instead of having the top and bottom different.... You will likely have to thump the mould upside down to get the cheese out....
