Hilly,
It is important that your knees do not become straight when the brake or clutch pedal reaches the bottom. There should remain at least a 10 degree bend in your knee so that you can apply more pressure if needed. If you have a straight leg at bottom then you have no strengh left to push the brake harder. My seats support the bottom of my legs and I remain comfortable even on very long trips.
