I fold therefore I unfold therefore my paper is creased
Well, I don't have the time to go and do each model, but here's my attempt at helping.
T-rex: My guess is that, if you open up the model slightly and look at it from above, you will see the raw edges of two flaps on either side of the paper in the location shown. Stick something(you finger works) in beneath the flap, and prod it up. The flap will come out, and will be "untucked."
Stegosaurus: Okay, looking at the diagrams, you oake the triangular bot which is being sunken. You open it up so that area is flat from the top, with two concentric outlines of squares. You mountain fold the outer square, and vallye fold the inner square. Manipulating the model from the inside of the model helps as well..
Also, Sara is a member of the forums so you can pm her for help.

T-Rex - Text is difficult for this step, but I'll try:
I assume that you did the Outside reverse fold correctly and neatly at the angle indicated. If you went more than the indicated angle, then you will have problems. But if you left that little stub, then there is a "flap" of paper tucked on the inside of each side of the reverse fold. If you see the tucked in flap on each side, then you can partially open the larger flaps to allow you to tease out the tucked paper. Sorry if that isn't clear - easier done, than said.
Steg: I assume that you're asking about the sink around 7 min. If you don't have the book, it may be hard to see this sink. In the diagrams, Montroll indicates which existing fold to reverse to get the effect that Sara shows. Maybe if you slow it down and look for the existing creases, it may be easier to follow.
