Freak?Never~
This sounds like an obvious bike fit issue as the other ladies have pointed out. Really, I think one of the biggest, most common aspects of a bike fit (along with knee angle, and hand/shoulder angles) is having the balls of your feet, more or less, centered over the pedals - putting your quads in position to do a lot of work.
Right now, your bike position sounds far from that ideal set-up.
Can you go back to the original bike shop? Or is there a reputable LBS that you trust?
I'm positive you can fit just fine on a bike, whether it is the one you have now, is hard to say without knowing all the variables.
