Puzzles me as well. When my bicep detached itself from my shoulder the surgeon told me he had to dig pretty deep into the arm with forceps to find the tendon so he could pull it up to it's original point of attachment. Takes a little while to get it stretched too. I understand the Achilles tendon behaves the same way, as do to varying degrees most of the muscles that when relaxed are stretched by opposing muscles ie: biceps / triceps.
