Charlie horse: This sounds like the type of spontaneous muscle spasm commonly known as a "charlie horse". To break the spasm place your foot flat on the floor and extend the knee. Hold the position as you stretch the muscle. You may need to do this a few times if the spasm returns when you end the stretch.
