I remember "rectus femoris" as the "rectum/butt-kicking" muscle. It helps to both extend and raise the knee, like you'd do when kicking someone. Not directly relevant to this question, but they can always ask about action too.
You would think the rectus femoris is in the back bc rectum, and biceps is in the front. But no. Okay then.
