Why do some women pull up their pant legs before sitting down?

Allison

I've noticed when some women sit down, they pinch and pull up their pant legs before sitting down. Some pull up a lap full of fabric and others just a pinch. Is there a reason they are doing this before they sit down or is it just a habit?

To keep the knees from bagging out, just like the guys do. I should do this but I tend to forget.

For the same reason men do: to keep the knees from stretching and deforming (especially in pants with a crease), and to "add" fabric between the knee and the hip so that the back is not pulled down and the crotch isn't too tight. Obviously this doesn't apply to stretch pants or jeggings or most casual pants, but generally does to traditional suiting fabric.
