Just wondering on this point as if it doesn't then I might need to ditch this seat and get something else, hopefully it's either user error or it will soften up slightly.
If it's a plastic saddle with a leather or fake leather covering ... nope. It should stay exactly like it is until it is worn out and needs to be replaced.
If it is a leather saddle like a Brooks, it will conform to your shape and become nicely comfortable.
