any way to easily soften legs after drying out with mount?

One of my reddish brown stags passed about a week ago. At the time, I mounted it and let dry, and now I want to add it to a display I am creating. Problem is that I need to bend the legs so it will look like it's in a natural pose on a "log" (resin wood). Without relaxing the entire beetle, is there something I can simply apply to the legs that will relax them? I tried ammonia as I read somewhere that it would work, but didn't have any effect. Thanks!

 
I have had some luck with dropping some warm water directly on the joint in questions and gently stretching it back and forth. Alcohol absorbs quickly as well, but makes the joint more brittle after drying.
