Have you actually tested that? Cavers use strap-on neoprene kneeling pads with no problems, despite crawling in mud and gravel for far greater distances than you are likely to travel while planting out seedlings. Possibly you'd get trouble if your legs were bare, but not with trousers on (inside the knee pads).
