unpressed

Still has creases

Unpressed describes something that hasn't been pressed—typically clothing that hasn't been ironed: He showed up in an unpressed shirt, all wrinkled from the suitcase.

The word can apply to anything not subjected to pressure: unpressed grapes, unpressed flowers.

It also describes buttons or keys that haven't been activated: The unpressed key sat waiting.
