First that should be checked out...
but you may have imbalances bet the quads and hams that are causing the problems. Most of what I've read say there's a 3 to 2 ratio between the two.
Make sure you're doing the exercises *properly*!
I recommend the front squat to start and make sure you're able to go down all the way with your butt at or close to your calves.
