Hi

I have had the same problem...i ride a BM saddle and a Sharon saare saddle. 
In the saare i just have sometimes problems because i had a broken tailbone.
With the BM saddle i am a short person ,5.2, I replaced the stirrup leathers 
with biothane 1 inch leathers and it is a lot less strain on my knees. 
However it took a while to get the muscles used to the wider twist and you 
don't need to post so high on a bm saddle.
It also may be that your stirrups are not far enough back...you mentioned 
you have a trail model...the stirrups are usually further forward then on an 
endurance model.
