A factory set crease is not always easy to permanently remove and any solution may have to be done several times before the crease disappears.

First question:
You want the off-center crease gone but do you want your jeans to have a crease in the proper place or no crease?
Your answer to this question will determine how you go about removing the off-center crease.

Most clothing sites offer several solutions so think about the following suggestions:
Wash your jeans a couple of times to remove the stiffness that manufacturers put in jeans.

"If simple washing and ironing do not work however, you do have a couple of options. You can remove the crease mark by rubbing a bar of soap along the line on the inside before pressing. Also you can pursue the vinegar method. Combine equal parts of vinegar and water and spray as you press out the crease. This will probably make your clothes smell a little so you may want to wash the garment again before wearing. The extra wash should also help with getting that crease out.

Take some starch and spray heavily on the crease. Then move the iron slowly across the crease and continue pressing the iron to the spot. In most cases this should do the trick for getting out that stubborn crease you no longer need.
This may have to be done more than once.

If you want a new crease in your jeans you can use the same solutions on a new seam that will make it the permanent seam.

It is best to never use iron on high heat on any garment.

Jeans wrinkle easily once wet, and ironing is not always convenient. The easiest way to remove wrinkles from jeans is to use a clothes dryer:

1. Soak a hand towel in cold water and gently wring it out. Set the towel in the dryer with the jeans.
3. Adjust the dryer to the highest heat and wrinkle rid setting if available. Turn the dryer on and allow it to run for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the jeans from the dryer and shake them out immediately and hang the jeans over a curtain or shower rod to cool.

I see that the Ariat brand also sells jeans with creases in center. Creases create vertical lines, so this trick helps to elongate legs. Creases are great on dress pants (trousers), but I think denim is not a fabric that should be pressed into submission, it's too casual for creases.
Well, every now and again there is a trend to wear creased jeans, but if you want to get rid of the center crease, then this will help you:

1. Wash your jeans with a mild liquid laundry detergent. Laundering loosens the denim fibers and softens the crease lines. Hang the garments to air dry.
2. Then prepare a mixture: measure 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of water, pour the white vinegar into the water and mix with a spoon, pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
3. Turn your jeans garment inside out and place on your ironing board. If you have a sleeve ironing board, insert the jeans. Flatten crease on the board. Pull the jeans tautly on the board.

Hold the spray bottle 6 to 8 inches from the crease and spray the crease with the white vinegar solution until the area dampens.
4. Cover the damp crease with a protective sheet or damp cloth.
Set your iron to a cotton setting or a high-heat setting and apply pressure with your iron over the crease and glide in a back and forth motion. Carefully lift the protective sheet or damp cloth to see if the crease has started to diminish. If the crease persists, cover the area and iron again, applying pressure over the crease.
5. Remove the protective sheet. If the crease has significantly diminished, spray a light coating of spray starch. Hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches away from the denim and spray, allowing the fine mist to set into the denim fibers (check your denim brand for specifics). Change your iron setting to medium and repeat the process until the crease disappears.

When you take them out of the washer, hand press a crease where you want it. Either hang them to dry or put in the dryer
