When had a problem of creeping forward on the saddle (making it uncomfortable), I put the saddle *back* and tilted it *up* to stop me sliding forward. Sometime, counterintuitively, moving the saddle back stops you slipping forward. I think it may be due to this causing a larger force vector on the pedal that tends to push you back slightly, thus keeping your position to the rear (if you consider a recumbent bike, every push against the pedal will push you back into the seat - same principal)
