The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the human body and is involved in flexing, abduction, and lateral rotation of the hip joint. It also aids in flexion of the knee joint, which is necessary for crossing one leg over the other while in a sitting position. The gastrocnemius muscle is involved in plantar flexion of the foot, not crossing legs. The hamstrings and quadriceps femoris muscles are involved in movement of the thigh and leg, but not specifically in crossing one leg over the other while sitting.
