If the rug does not flatten out by pulling it flat, it may have stretched out in some areas. It will need to be professionally re-blocked. Otherwise, the rug gripper video that Suzette sent is good for hard surfaces.
You have to stretch it somehow, and have some help doing it. If you have cinder blocks, that would hold it for sure. I'd leave it for a couple of days.

Have it steam cleaned, it will relax the fibers.
