Mine is in an unheated garage so I leave mine as is as it won't usually dry out, as said already be easy on it when opening up and don't force anything.
If it's in a heated garage, mold can start soon if it sits for awhile. I'd remove it from the bag at the very least and allow air to get at it to breathe/dry a bit.
I set mine up outside in the sun for a day at the end of every season prior to storage. No issues yet, sixth season with my current tent.....
