Hey there, try to use a cloth simulator : )
You can use Reactor Cloth, or Simcloth for that matter (or others, but simcloth is free and reactor is included in Max); it's been widely discussed before on this very forum, perform a search and you'll probably find lots of usefull informations on cloth sim, i remember 3DZealot has some very neat images on cloth sim and might be able to help you if you need.
Basically, model your piece of cloth, assign it physical properties, deflectors and so on (your character's leg in this case) and run the simulation over your pre-animated character.
