[brad hebert] "Also, there is chroma keying involved."
When you chroma key lower-resolution footage, you will almost always have to readjust the settings if you reconnect to higher-resolution footage. You would be duplicating your effort. | | | | |

I was able to key it like Jim did but your biggest problem is that the background needs to be a LOT greener.
Drop a solid green (it's a preset) on your timeline. That's what a chroma key background should look like. | | | | |

Wrinkles only matter if they cause shadows. Your background isn't very green to begin with, probably due to improper lighting and talent distance separation, as Mike mentioned. I was able to get something out of this, see attached screenshots.

The light on the green paper is low and uneven, some of it even looks red. That's no good for chroma keying.
In the future I would highly recommend testing any method you're not familiar with before you go shoot.
