Hi all,
I have just begun to seriously commute by bike which is great however
I have to wear formal clothing which means an ironed shirt etc. When I
get to work my freshly ironed shirt looks like a dishcloth and my
trousers look like a pair of pyjamas.
Has anyone found any devices or novel way of preserving their gear? I
use a backpack and cannot use panniers.

Wear cycling clothes on the bike, and pack your formals in the backpack.
If that's what you already do, the most important tip I can give is this:

Iron your stuff the night before.

It seems that cotton's "memory" needs a long time to form after ironing.
