Cycling Knickers

Loves my knickers.
On rare occasions when the 'behind the knee' is bugging me, I just pull 'em up a bit. If they're too tight, I'd just cut 'em.

I'm 6' with, as the bike fitter told me, "gargantuan femurs".... That said, knickers can be problematic. I've never found an off-the-shelf knicker that does fit as you describe, just below the knee. Some do cut into the back of the knee, but others don't. It depends upon the fabric and the cut.

My best bet for shorts, knickers and tights has been boure (boure.com). While I have them make custom shorts for me (about 4" longer than their standard short), I have yet to pay up and do the same for knickers. They're knickers don't seem to cause me problems even though the knee articulation is about 2" above my knee. Other brands have chafed at the back of the knee. In the end, it all becomes trial and error I'm afraid.

I have Sheebeast knickers and love them. I am 5'9.25" and they are mid calf on me.
