I agree with Sonnet, there's just no substitute for a good massage therapist, especially when coming off an injury (which will cause all sorts of weird compensations that mess up your body). One of the suggestions mine gave which I find helpful before riding is to pull my leg up to my chest, knee bent, hold 5 seconds, then holding my ankle open the leg so my knee is out to the side of my body, then gently bring it down and in so my thigh is next to the other one, foot up at my butt. That takes the hip through most of its range of motion and gives a gentle stretch.
