I agree with Richard on this one - Just mist them regularly, keep them moist, and the leaves will generally work their way out. If, for some reason, you get one that's really stubborn, you can do what I do, and get a pair of tweezers, and after the seedling has been up for 3 days or so, squeeze the edges of the seed coat to get it to open up some, and GENTLY pull it off.

19 times out of 20, just keeping the coat moist with the mister will fix it.
