Map Folding - is this a dark art?

Hello - I was wondering if there is some secret that experienced pilots don't tell inexperienced pilots until they've flown 100 hours - how on earth do you fold your map and stop it resembling something you could enter in an origami competition?

I have a new map at the moment and my last flight fell nicely in the fold and I looked very swish with it neatly folded!

However the next trip I’m planning - yes you guest it - goes over the fold!

What am I to do? I will now have to refold those lovely creases the wrong way and it will end up looking like a right mess and all my credibility will go with it!

Is there some secret I have not been told? Did Trevor Thom write a book on map folding? Please advise....
