You don't want to be able to touch the ground when sitting on the seat - you're riding a bike, not walking!
If you need to put your foot on the ground, get off the seat and stand over the frame. When sitting on the seat, keep your hips even and your leg should be almost fully extended when the pedal is at the bottom of the downstroke and your foot is level with ground. Just a slight bend in the knee. There are lots of websites and youtube videos showing how to do this. It's easier if you have a helper.
