You : You need surgery as soon as possible. You are lucky that it continues to pop back in place.

Rest it.: If your knee locks, the best way to try to get it to unlock is to lay on a bed or couch, let your leg muscles relax, and see if you can manipulate the knee back to normal motion. You may likely have a meniscus tear, that can be getting caught in the normal motion of the knee. See a sports medicine orthopedic knee specialist.
