I have the most frustrating time ironing business shirts. Often when I iron the sleeve, I turn it around only to find that I've ironed a crease in the other side. I then iron that crease out and I make a crease on the first side.

slip a piece of cardboard between the two layers of the shirt sleeve. Thin cardboard like the type that comes in a men's packaged shirt works very well. When you iron the top layer of the sleeve, the cardborad prevents the under layer from creasing. Then flip and do the other side. once smooth you can remove the cardboard and iron as normal.
I spent 26 years in military and I used this process always. My creases on top were always razor-sharp and sleeves wrinkle-free.

Ugh! That is an annoying process, isn't it! I don't know what perma press (as mentioned by the previous poster) is but the whole "perma" bit makes me leery. It may make those creases permanent!
Here are my not-so-convenient-tricks.
1) take the extra time to be absolutely sure there are no potential creases on the second layer of fabric.
As this may not do any good, especially where things like pleats and buttoned cuffs are concerned...
2) they make little forms to iron on for sleeves. Use them and only iron one layer at a time.
Also I find even a minimal steam setting helps. Steam is the only way to get out those ironed in creases as far as I can tell. Even my silkiest of silks can handle a small amount of time under temperatures high enough to create steam, even at temps high enough to keep the iron from dripping.
I suppose, though, I'm fairly old-school in that I don't trust the quick fix things on the market.
good luck. I'll be happy to know of better options than I could offer as well!!!

Ironing Sleeves

particularly creasing sleeves is an argument of flavor. in case you inspect any adult males's trend magazines or classified ads you'll discover there is not any CREASE contained in the sleeves. it truly is genuine that human hands are round so why cause them to look like a tin soldier. yet another reason (except decision) is that it truly is easier to irons sleeves with a crease until eventually you've the "mini sleeve attachment" on your board. in my opinion, I hate them.
