Like tucking your pelvis under when you sit on the saddle?

This, I think, though your post isn't exactly self-explanatory. An old method for determining saddle height was to have someone hold the bike up while you sat on it with your heels on the pedals and pedaled backward. You raised the saddle a fraction at a time until your hips rocked, then lowered it until they stopped.

By the way- if you mean, side to side- that means your saddle is too high- but, I've seen people that rode like that, and rode very well, and rode long distances, and were completely comfortable doing it- so hey, whatever works.

Try this ... sit upright on a hard chair with good posture, now suck your abs in. Now lean forward. Is that what you mean? That's more or less the correct way to sit on a saddle.

Focus on bending forward from the hips and trying to keep your lower back straighter.
