what are the adaabs of reading quran? how should you sit, how should you hold the Quran etc, etc. can you keep Quran on your lap or should you hold in your hands?

Question

2. can the knees be above the Quran level? jazakallah

Answer

One should sit in a respectful manner on the ground. It is best to place the
Qur'aan on a low table. If this is not available, hold the Qur'aan in one's
hands. It is against etiquette to place it on one's lap.

If the Qur'aan is on a low table, then there is no harm if the knees are
slightly higher than the Qur'aan.
