How do you work in a collar?

I've had my us wings legend for a little while now and the collar still hasn't set in. How do you go about manually setting it in? I've tried working it in to the right place and wearing, but it always goes back.

I've always gotten mine wet and hand formed it. Then I let it air dry on a hanger making sure the shape I formed it in isn't bothered until completely dry.

I will either do what TS just suggested or I will wear it dry and continually shape and knead the collar until its the desired shape and flexibility I'm after. Lots of times the reason a collar needs shaping in the first place is because its so dang stiff!

I wet the the collar (but I don't shower it). Then, I sit down to some TV and work it with my hands for a while. It usually takes me about three 15-minute sessions, one a day, to get a US Wings collar how I want it.
