In my experience airline seat backs pivot at a point somewhere around knee height, so reclining a seat doesn't affect legroom at all. When the person in front of me reclines it tilts my laptop monitor a little but that's it.

The incline also has to begin below the knee (ie. at the base of your seat) because the seat is horizontal and seats are at the same level. My knees usually touch the seat in front so I have to spread my legs awkwardly when the recline happens.

I usually sit in a "V" as much as possible or get an aisle seat so that one leg can stretch into the aisle sometimes. Honestly, I'm pretty much done with flying until such time as airlines come to grips with their management problems.
