I have exact problem, it will come out but I am sure after time it will crack the leather.
My solution is, get a nice thick cloth, shove between and under the creased seat and use the buckle clip to hold some in place, am not sure exactly what is pressing into it to crease it badly but this does help quite a bit.

First of all if you look at the plastic, roughly level with your shoulder when sat in the rear seats you should see a wee slot. You can always tuck the tongue part of the belt away in that slot (thats what its for). I also have the buckle part with those funny little clip bits on elsatic stuck in too. Finally when I folded my seats down I brought the rear bench forward first up against the backs of the front seats and then folded the backs of the seats nice & flat and then put my blue tarp down to protect the backs of the seats. To my knowledge I havent got creases where they've been folded.

Not that I can get in the back and look easily either.... lol /sigh

doesnt do the middle and socket bits...... my solution is to does as pink said, but also push the seatbelt sockets through 90° and make sure you pull up the slack on the centre belt as you fold the seat down. seems to do the job
