[edit] Steps

Wash the jeans.
Take them out of the washer, and do NOT put them in the dryer. Instead, hang them on a pants hanger. While they are hanging, pull down on the pant leg while wet. This will cause them to stretch. Do this as much as you feel is necessary.
Continue to let them hang until they are completely dry.
Once they are dry, wear them!
Don't have time for this? Need to stretch in a hurry? Depending on jeans material, this instant stretch trick may work. 1) Grab jeans at a point along bottom hem of one pant leg in one hand and opposite point on waist band in other hand; 2) Step on pant leg (in stocking feet) midway between points in your hands; 3) Pull hard with hands while pressing with foot to spread jeans fibers along pant leg; 4) Move hand positions a few inches along bottom hem and waist band and repeat procedure; 5) Continue all the way around pant leg; 6) Then repeat procedure for other leg.

[edit] Tips

You may have to repeat the stretching numerous times to get the length you desire.
Do not dry the jeans in the dryer at all. Only hang dry them to keep them the length you want.
You do not have to do this every time you wash the jeans.
You can also stretch the jeans a bit more by applying pressure with a hot iron going down the leg to the bottom.
