The three muscles that aid on knee flexion are the semitendiosus, semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris. None of these muscles are considered the prime mover because they all cross two joints. Therefore all three of the muscles are considered to be synergist.

The knee is a joint, and as such it doesn't "flex." However, the act of engaging the knee joint results in flexion of the lower leg, and the muscle that flexes the lower leg is the hamstring.
