You need to extend the hip while flexing the knee ... if you are solo, the best way to do this IMO is to be lunge kneeling, then bring the back foot to your buttock, then lunge forward ... sort of like this picture, but with the back leg up as in a quad stretch ...



I often do this on my sofa as I feel I can control it better ... I have the back knee on the sofa, and my other foot on the floor ... I then bring my foot to my butt, then lunge forward so my hip is extended and my knee flexed.

HTH ...
