Sorry, Jeff. Other than combing out with a root hook and using jets of water to loosen the soil, there are no shortcuts... just hard work for a couple of years. Depending on the species, you may also be able to soak it in water to loosen the soil.
At least the trees are healthy. It's better than pulling it out of the container and having all the soil fall right off the tree leaving one or two small roots.
Good luck.
