Water pressure is what keeps the leaves in shape. You are not watering your tree enough. Make sure your tree can drain easily. Water until the pot leaks. Water each morning like this. Once a week, feed with a weak mixture of a high nitrogen fertilizer.(that's the first number in the 3 series number) anything above 5 should do fine, but nothing higher than 15. This will help leaf propigation and also help your tree to utilize the water more efficiently.
Your lemon tree is suffering from low humidity. Get a large saucer (bigger than the base of the pot); fill it with pebbles, and set the plant on top of it. Fill the saucer with water ALMOST to the top of the pebbles. As the water evaporates, the humidity in the immediate vicinity of the plant will be increased, and the leaves should stop curling up.
Your other alternative is to get a humidifier (the cool mist type works best), especially if the plant would be heavy to move because of its size. Set the humidity to about 50% or more, and your plant should be much happier.
If the soil around your tree is moist to the touch, you are giving it plenty of water; if not, keep it moist to the touch, and be sure that it can drain. NEVER let a plant sit in water unless it is an aquatic plant - the roots will drown.
Sounds like it's not enough water! Usually the leaves start curling on a plant mean it's not getting enough water.
They are puckered! Just imagine your mouth if you had squeezed all that juice into all those lemons.
