Janine, I suffer from the exact same thing. Doesn't happen all the time, just from prolonged walking or standing. As I've been told, it is from the shifting of weight downward causing pressure on the sciatic nerve and is mostly from water retention. I've noticed that I'm getting skinny on top, but getting bigger in my hips and thighs, so I personally think that explanation bears out.
