Not that tall bro. Just 5’11. At my comfortable seating position my knees touch the steering wheel. My seat height is set to the lowest position. The only option for me is pull the steering column towards me, which I don’t like.
I prefer sitting lower in the car.
I'm 6' and haven't had this issue. Are you sure you're far back enough? Realistically with your legs extended the right amount your knees shouldn't be that close to the wheel...
