I'd either try as 97 suggested and inflate them in the sun, or deflate them about 10 pounds low and drive around carefully to try and heat and massage the flat spot and the sidewall back into shape.

I drove both 190Ds after they had sat for a little bit and got a flat spot on the tires. First was when my sister got her Scion and I had to wait to come up with the money to buy the MB from her, and second was when I put the 84 in mothballs for a couple months to fix the IP o ring oil leak that got very fast, and put a clutch in it.

On both occasions, I felt a very pronounced vibration. I drove the car around at 45 mph and just went all over town, driving aimlessly. After about 20 minutes the vibration all but stopped and another 10 minutes to get home had them back into round like they were before.
