Any issues I've had recently are mostly with the female knee joints. In severe cases, I just put some super glue on a thin pin (Like the kind you find in new dress shirts), push it vertically through the back of the knee joint and cut off the excess. Forms a nice "strut" to keep it straight and doesn't affect anything visually or functionally.
