Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
The meniscus covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia. This cartilage provides smooth movement and shock absorption.

The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.
The tibiofemoral joint is at the distal and of the femur and proximal end of the tibia. The femur is the thighbone, and the tibia is the larger of the two bones of the lower leg.
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
The medial malleolus is the rounded process of the tibia forming the internal surface of the ankle joint. It si sometime called the internal malleolus.

The femur fits into the acetabulum at its proximal end. The acetabulum is part of the pelvis.
