This was addressed in a documentary I saw about the Shroud some time ago.

Scientists believe the image was burned (for want of a better word) onto the shroud when the person underneath it was STANDING UP, not lying down. The hair is perfectly flat, unlike the way it would be if the body was lying on its back. So speculation is Jesus was risen from the dead and then the image was imprinted.

I doubt this based on the shroud itself. If the image were formed while the subject was standing, he had to be standing on tip-toe on one foot.
