Knee pain

Hello all. I have a quick question. Recently I have been experiencing a lot of knee pain after riding. The pain is on the medial (inner) part of my knee and is focused into one localized point. When I push on this point it hurts like you wouldn't believe. I know.......the simple solution would be to stop pushing on this point. Unfortunately, it goes a bit deeper than that. After prolonged periods of sitting, my knee gets quite stiff and it is painful to straighten it. I also have encountered some pain/stiffness behind my knee. I do not feel as though I have lost strength in my knee. I am also still able to run/bike with this ailment. I have heard so many different things from a tight IT band, to poor saddle position, to poor cleat position. Has anyone else experienced this type of pain? Does anyone have any advice on how to alleviate this problem? Thanks in advance for your responses.
