I have the same problem which I blame on knee surgery, although my right leg is somewhat susceptible after many hours. My baidarka has a very low masik (I don't know the Aleut word for it), and I sorta have to bend my knees a wee bit backward to get in. No big deal big it creates havoc on my left knee, so much so I have to beach and roll out of my boat like a seal. Same now goes for other boats. I found a neoprene knee brace solved most of the problem for me. I can get out of my kayaks now without crawling on the sand. A couple of pieces of foam under the thighs glued in the glass boat helps too.
