I have knee issues because of an accident i had once. The area around my knees are really weak. It only gives me issues when I do squats and i want to keep doing squats. Any suggestions for exercises?
 
part of your quads covers your knees (rectus femoris) have you tried deadlifts?

Here is a pic of my wife Nina doing them with a 64kg KB standing on 32cm blocks. She weighs 60kg.

NPR of here managed 46 reps in 60 seconds, Nina made 22 reps in 60 seconds.

Killer exercise.
