I followed this up with 30 minutes of pool running with some plyos mixed in. Might try this again tomorrow morning back home.
One day at a time…

Hi, there. Here's my thoughts on your "quad pull." First, get the book linked on my blog's sidebar, Trigger Point stuff. The vastus medialis is a hip flexor, so if it's injured, then the other hip flexor, the iliopsoas, will try to work harder to compensate. Since that muscle attaches both in front of hip and up onto L1-L5 in your back, and you are experiencing discomfort sitting for long period, my guess is that the iliopsoas is overworked and perhaps tight/weak.
In my experience, once the iliopsoas is set up with trigger points, it tends to invite other muscles to the party: quadratus lumborum, glute medius and piriformis are the favorites.
Email me (link on my blog profile) and I can send you a set of stretches that will really help out your hip flexors and the other muscles mentioned above.
