Hold one trouser leg by bottom hem - fold where crease is - bring second leg up to meet first and hold together where creases is. Use clothes peg to hold them in place.
Place trousers length ways on ironing board - unclip peg and fold upper leg back out of the way. get damp tea towel and place over bottom leg on ironing board. Steam press with iron all the way up the leg to the crotch starting at the bottom following front crease. Do likewise with back crease. Turn trousers over on ironing board (again fold top leg back out of the way. Steam press both creases on second leg as before (see above).
Put both trouser legs together and lay length ways on ironing board - (Vary carefully) place tea towel on crease from waist to crotch on one leg and steam press again. Turn trousers over and repeat process on second leg. Repeat process again at rear crease.
You should now have a pair of trousers with but one crease on each leg from waist to hem.

Hi..hold the trousers upside down by the hems and line up the seams on each leg so that you have the legs exactly straight. Place on the iron board, cover with a thin cloth ie tea towel which is damp and then iron the steam will produce knife edge creases and help remove the 2nd line you have. Its important to keep them still so that the line are in the right place and straight, but if they are moving around a good tip is to hold them together with a couple of pegs. After ironing leave them to air dry for a couple of minutes and then wear. This should work for you.

Lie the trouser leg out so you can iron the length of the crease in one go. Then be satisfied with it.
Two creases means you moved the trousers half way, or you tried to improve the crease by ironing it a second time. If ironing once doesnt make the crease strong enough, iron through a damp cloth next time.

Line up your side seams, all the way to the crotch. Start from the bottom hem, moving toward the crotch. Make sure you are on the same seam when you turn the pant leg to do the other side.

shake them out seam to seam and the crease in your trousers should come out really straight
start at the bottom and work your way up.. to where you want the top of the crease to go to.. this should help..
good luck

Practice I'm afraid, I was still asking my mum to do mine till I was 25 (and I didn't even live at home by then!!!)
