Different seating positions for street vs track?

Just finished my first track day and had already been experiencing knee pain unrelated to the car, but nonetheless exacerbated by it. Before the track day I was having left knee pain from clutching, but during the event they suggested moving so close that you can depress the clutch flat footed which did wonders for relieving strain. Problem is I left it like this on the 5 hour ride home and have pretty bad right knee pain now from being so close to the gas pedal that I have to "pull" back my foot to enable me to coast on the high way or in town without over accelerating. I did use cruise control but even then it didn't feel right.

Probably not gonna find any solutions in this format but would be encouraged a bit if anyone else can at least relate.

For what it's worth I'm 27 yo with a stressful desk job and a toddler at home and in recent years have gradually put on weight and neglected much exercise so I'm not in peak physical condition anyway.
