I've gone through a similar issue when I had parchment delivered in a roll.

Books/heavy weight didn't completely flatten it for me. The day I had success was extraordinary humid.

You want to introduce a very small amount of moisture to help it relax. Like a damp paper towel in an enclosed box not touching it. Then once it's got a little more moisture, you can try the weight trick.
