It is not hard, once you got the way.
So follow the steps and ever verify the Info Line (at Wings botton left side) instructions:
(1) Select the elements you want to flatten (can be one or more vertices, faces or edges)
(2) Click on Flatten command with middle mouse button and lets begin a 2 step operation:
---->(2a) Click on an element (it can be one or more vert, edge or face; usually a edge is more common) to define the direction in which the selection will be flattened: you will see an arrow indicating the direction. If the element you click doesnt define the direction you want (the arrow isnt pointing to the direction you want), and you just see this after select the element, dont worry, you can press spacebar to deselect all an try again: this wont interrupt the operation and you can try to select another element, ok?! Try until you find an element that define that direction (until the arrow points to the direction you want to flatten the selected elements). Ah!, while you are trying, Info Line are showing you: "Pick Axis". After you find it, click with right mouse button to continue (this infomation is being shown at Info Line too).
---->(2b) Now, the second step: click on an element (as before) that defines the point at which the flatten will happened (you already defined the direction, and no you are defining a limit). Like before, when you select anything you will see a green point, that represents that limit. You can experiment any element and, if you not it isnt exactly what you want, you can press spacebar to unselect all, without interrupt the operations, and try again. Ah, Info Line shows you: "Pick Point". After you find it, click with right mouse button to continue (this infomation is being shown at Info Line too).
Please, let me know if you had success; if not, let me know what was wrong. There are a few tricks i want to teach you, but before i would like to know if you got it. Could you try the above steps and report the results here?
