I don't know if this would be ok on the led hoop but i usually just lay them on a flat surface in the hot sun for a few hours. That gets most of the warpedness out then it is  just a matter of squishing it a bit when it is standing up to sort out any other problems.

I've had the same thing happen and yeah heat usually solves the problem. 

Make sure to be careful when your storing them or packing them into the car, prevention is of course always the best solution.

Oh, out of round does drive me crazy! The sun trick sounds good. Usually, I put them up against wall and look, look, look real carefully for a flat spot (will usually have a neighboring "too bent" spot) and I try to bend some roundness back into that flat spot. I'm going to try to put a little heat on it next time with a hair drier because these flat spots do seem to come back! When do my re-shaping, it does at least feel better for that session. I wish I could find a giant perfectly round cone somewhere, like some outdoor sculpture or something and then heat the hoop back into roundness...
