The length is your preference, although the way you describe it sounds fine. Any longer and the hem would hit the sensitive skin behind the knees (not good for extended periods.)

Pressing out a hem on 100% wool is done routinely with kilts of dancing and growing youngsters. Steaming wool fibers makes them relax completely and they can be reshaped. Wool blend may be tougher because of the synthetic fibers. You could try "pressing out" the crease of, say, the inside of the inverted pleat beneath the underapron. A damp pressing cloth and steam iron are required to both protect the wool and to prevent melting the synthetics. If the results are unsatisfactory, merely press the crease back in and wear it as is. If the results are satisfactory, by all means re-hem it.
