The debate goes on when it comes to locking or unlocking your
knees when doing the leg press.

I would say do neither. What you need to do is keep your knees
straight.  When you are doing the leg press, as you are moving the
weight, your leg muscles are doing all the work. When you come
to the end of the exercise,
 
if you keep your leg straight, the work will be done by the muscles
around your knees.

If you continue and lock out your knees or even push your knees
back, the work shifts from the muscles around your knee to your
knee joint actually doing all the work. Your knee joint cannot
handle the complete load and it WILL get damaged.

What do straight knees look like for you? 

If you look at the deadlift exercise, when you return to the start,
you contract your gluteus and bringing your hips forward. This is
the position where your knees are straight.  If you look at them,
they are straight but there still is a slight bend in them.

There you go. Next time you hit the gym, find out what "straight
knees" looks like for you.  Then remember to stop before locking
out next time you do the leg press so you work your muscles
and not the joint.
