Just been for a 30 miler in my new "More Mile Mens Thermal Cycling Bike Pants Padded Cycle Trousers Tights Bottoms" from ebay/Amazon.At £20 a bargain i thought and to be fair it is all i could afford..
The problem arose 5 miles into my ride the pad was great so no problem there BUT pinching/gathering at the back of my knee was not only a pain it was very uncomfortable for the rest of the ride so my question is can i do anything about it or just suffer and see...

I don't think my knee gets flexed enough for any stretchy material to bunch up behind the knee. As you've just done 30 miles I won't ask you whether your saddle is high enough, but I can't think of any other reason why this should happen.

I am sure the saddle is fine , but a good point made ...i will check Cheers

or it could just be that you've bought cheap kit which doesn't do its job very well...?

Just a case of. What may work for some, may not work for others.

They could just be a poor fit or perhaps they're a bit big for you and a smaller size would be better?
