It's sometimes a problem for me, which I have solved by placing the rim of the bell (Bb clarinet) on my right knee.

It's usually the right knee too, as I tend to favour a sitting position which is somewhat less than perfectly straight ahead.

One can also sit ''straight ahead'' and with the knees together, the Bb clarinet will nestle in between both, quite snugly.

This won't work, necessarily, for others as you may be playing 1/ other than a Bb clarinet 2/ you may have short legs or 3/ you may have very long legs, in which event the dimensions involved may be particularly unsuitable.

It may be useful to try though.
