The sartorius muscle runs from the front of the hip to the inside of the knee and is involved in crossing one leg over the other to produce the cross-legged position. The gastrocnemius muscle is located in the calf and is involved in plantar flexion at the ankle joint. The hamstrings and quadriceps femoris muscles are both located in the thigh and are involved in movements such as knee flexion and extension, but they are not specifically involved in the cross-legged position.
