have you tried voodoo flossing around your knee:

after you do that around the knee, then you can start advancing the voodoo floss above the knee, inching your wrap up the quads. then you can also go down the lower leg. repeat the squat maneuver for each wrapping. i would also get 4 voodoo bands and you can do both legs at the same time. you can also use a single band, wrapping both above and below the knee:

then you can use only 2 bands for both legs.

for reference here are some other good MWOD knee videos:
