Yeah, that's about the same for me. Basically I'm fine until my legs get tired, and then I start to sit more heavily in the saddle. But to be fair, when I've ridden 400 km, that's already 15 or more hours on the bike, and pretty much everything starts getting tired and sore.

Regularly getting out of the saddle definitely helps. But as my legs get tired, I do less of that.
