Remember the classic lines from the Addams (#2 movie?) kids at summer camp during lifeguarding/water safety
"I'll be the Victim" by the budding blonde bimbette
And like Wednsday said
"All of you life..........."

I don't know if this'll help, but in the kneel stances there shouldn't be a great deal of pressure on your knees. Is it that you've problems with flexing them?
One thing I'd suggests, if it helps, is that you check your posture--maybe even turn sideways to a mirror to see whether your back's straight and your chin is up. Also, maybe, look to seee if the upper body's being held rigidly. Mostly, it's been my (limited, admittedly) experience that students having trouble with the kneels are a) slumping with their chin down, b) tightening the upper torso a lot.
Again, I don't know if this is even the problem. But I'm 49, I have mildly-arthritic knees on X-ray (running down hills in grad school, I suspect), and my right knee has improved drastically since kenpo. And I hit pretty low stances, having been taught them by a woman who did a lot of ballet and is a foot shorter than I am. Just in case the weight distribution is the issue, try: for a right closed kneel, put your weight on the leading edge of the right foot and "pull" your hips forward a bit; the left thigh should be tensed. For a right wide kneel, just turn the knee out of course, but keep the left thigh tensed and the weight on the forward edge of the right foot.
Oh, one other thing. I avoid jumping kicks of any kind--and throughout late brown belt, I had intermittent problems with sore knees and heels that came from what appeared to be my love of stomping. It came to be my impression that brown belts love stomping--any chance that this, or landing jumping kicks on stiffened rather than bent knees, or lifting your feet off the mat in kata, is the problem?
Anyway, hope this helps. It's the pits when you're at the movies, or driving, and your knees start aching.
