Nowadays I feel more comfortable resting my clarinet on my knee when playing sitting down; but if I'm wearing dress trousers the bell ring has very little stability unless carefully controlled. You need a bit more friction than that between the metal and the shiny cloth.
A good solution is to buy, or cadge, a mountain bike inner tube from your cycle shop (they sometimes have a couple of surplus ones.) Then, cutting off a small cylinder, you find that (with some effort:-) you can stretch that over the end of the bell – problem solved.
If you think that you SHOULDN'T rest the bell on your knee, or if you have some aesthetic judgement about modifying your beautiful clarinet, then of course, don't do this.
