• Lift your knee up as high as you can, and flex your ankle back as far as you can.
  
• Extend your leg forward pivoting at the knee, Flex the ankle forward as far as possible.
  
• Repeat a few times.
  

This one stretch will loosen up most of the leg. If you throw in a little side-to-side motion while doing this, you can loosen up the hip as well.
