If you climb right off, with just your inner thigh on the saddle, it's much easier to get a knee down. Having one cheek on the saddle is a common failing. Not that it's a good idea to do knee down on the road. It's just irrelevant to take your C of G to the limit unless you're also taking your tyre adhesion to the limit. I steer well clear of anyone wearing knee sliders on the road.
