Leggings with baggy shorts should be suitable to your needs!

or if it's too warm, try knee warmers!

My Endura Humvee 3/4s sound about right, they've got velcro fasteners at the bottom:
Not cheap though:

I'll go with Dayvo's suggestion - it means that you can cover what you want and roll up to offer max. ventilation otherwise...

Or a knee bandage perhaps? No harm in that, and there are a few I know who wear one, self included from time to time...

I've got a pair of combats from UniQlo that convert to 3/4 lengths - you roll them halfway up your shins and they fasten with a button. I got them about three years ago but they've stocked similar ones since. I think they only cost about 30 quid.

i like upside downs idea, if you don't want to wear lycra.

if you don't mind lycra, lots of websites do "knickers" which are leggings that come just below the knee
