Answers:
Possibly an ACL injury, patellar tendinitis, or osteoarthritis if you are older.

Do you play an sports or did you injury your knee?
Is it swollen?
Is it painful all the time or during movement such as bending or climbing the stairs?
Any instability?
Any popping sounds?

If it is an ACL injury you should see an ortho doc. Patellar tendinitis, or inflammation of the tendon that stabilizes the knee cap can be treated with rest, ice, ace wrap, and elevating the leg.

You should get it checked out if this problem is ongoing.

I don't know how old you are. if your young your body may be adjusting to itself and if your older you might try to notice if you keep your leg in an unsual position for a long period of time. I suspect that what your problem might be
