Leg guard question.

This may be stupid, but here goes. Anyone have a problem with their pants getting caught at the top of their leg guards when they stand up after a pitch?

I wear Diamond single knee guards and always plate pants. Maybe it is a fitting problem. Should the top of the guard just cover the knee when standing, or shoud the "floating" shell be in that position? Any help?

In a single-knee leg guard, the top of the guard (knee cap plate) should cover the knee, and the floating shell should be below that, to protect the area of the guard between the knee cap plate and the shin plate where it's just the soft material.
