Stretch beforehand as well as regularly and consider trying a differentstyle of seat than the tradiitonal Pygmy inflatable foam pad. Perhaps carve your own from minicell foam - few hours of time.

Otherwise, try stuffing a towel rolled up under your knees/lower thighs to better support them.

Try also searching the archives for "NBS" or "numb butt syndrome". YOu should find stuff there.
