If someone performs Salaah sitting on a chair due to his knee problem, is it ok to keep his hands out of his knees facing qibla or he should keep his hands on his thighs before his knees?

On his thighs.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
