This steel is messing with me! Keeps bending

Hi guys.

This thin steel stock i bough it proving really difficult for me to handle, and i donøt know whats going on! :-)
When i received the steel it was a little bit bend, i didn't think much of it because i though i could just straighten it.

I made it nice and straight and started sanding it away. I went to check the straightness and it was bend right back to where it started?!
This keeps happening!

I think it might have been stores on a roll and some how wants to go back to that shape. But how do i straighten it now? I can imagine that when i do the HT it will bend a lot.
