Patellar tracking: In someone your age, pain with knee flexion is often caused by muscle imbalance, causing the patella to be slightly off it's normal course. This tends to cause pain when sitting for long periods and walking down stairs. See your physician to see if an xray is needed. Usually this resolves with an individualized course of physical therapy.
