Sean:

You were not very specific as to where the knees hurt. Do they hurt inside or below the knee cap? Do they hurt on the bone below the knee cap (location of Osgood Schlatter's).

Flexibility is an issue and most Western cultures do not do anything remotely on the knees and sit in chairs which shorten's the hamstrings. I recommend you see a sports medicine specialist: MD, DC, or DO.

It could be a case of tendonitis but you were not clear enough on the pain location. I've been training over 15 years and my knees still kill me when sitting seiza. Some old timer's cannot even sit seiza anymore.
