Mettre un genou en terre est une expression médiévale, toujours usitée pour rendre un hommage. Par exemple demander une femme en mariage...

http://www.google.fr/search?hl=...w=1411&bih=790

mettre "à terre" signifie plutôt mettre KO, donc c'est à éviter dans ce contexte...

On met son adversaire à terre...
On peut cependant mettre le pied à terre sans être vaincu, mais pas le genou !
