Some genuflect before entering the pew; some do it after (and before they sit.) Some genuflect, enter pew and kneel in prayer, then sit. Some cross themselves, genuflect.... you get the picture. Its the nuns fault.

When Should We Genuflect? Liturgy and Sacraments ... I always thought one was to genuflect only before and after Mass. At my parish, we have EMHC genuflecting before entering the sanctuary to distribute Holy Communion and before returning to their pew.
