lol, I have had the same problem! lol
I always have to tilt my leg and angle my foot just so. I once had my foot fall asleep on my driving across the TX panhandle! lol No cruise in my truck, so I had to "prop" my foot into place.
I have always found on any long drive that my back bothers me for the first 2 hours or so until I get more relaxed. Maybe it is the stress of trying to leave Long Island or something. But once that 2 hour makr passes I am good to go for HOURS at a clip.
But driving around town I am fine. weird.

It sounds like . . .
You have the back of the seat dropped too much. I am talking the handle on the left side which allows you to drop your *** lower than your thighs. If you are too far dropped then you are putting too much pressure on the nerves on the underside of your thighs. this would cause the legs and butt to get numb.
Raise the seat slightly until you no longer get numb. Moving farther from the wheel will only put more pressure on your back and shoulders as you reach for the wheel.

The leg possition would be when the clutch were fully depressed
That is the angle people would be referring to. Can't have the leg at 180* without the clutch being depressed, you would never be able to depress it! lol I know, extreme example, but you get my drift. 
Did you try my setup? How did it feel?
