as for high kicks, i used to not be able to headkick, but there are some exercise to help it. the thing is, if youre doing muay thai highkicks, its not only a groin thing (like splits) its also hip flexibility, you have to be able to turn your leg over while its raised so you can bring your shin down between his hands. you could also have your leg too tense while you kick, it should be completely relaxed/limp until a split second before impact
so
1) work on doing splits, lowering yourself as low as you can, with your knees facing up.
2)go as low as you can, and work on turning one knee to the ground, while the other knee is facing the ceiling
3) face a wall. put your chest against it. lift your leg with your knee bent, as high as you can go, so that the inside of your thigh is resting on the wall. then turn your leg over, and touch the outside of your thigh on the wall. hold your ankle so you can lift it as high as you can.
as for squats. thats not really a matter of flexibility as it is balance. practice it without weights, and slowly work your way up. even if you have to swallow your pride and do a lot less weight
