Depends why he's doing it - can be stress (esp if you've only had him a few days), attention-seeking, boredom, dominance, habit, misdirected play, excess of hormones... Just firmly remove your leg/arm etc. each time and walk away ignoring him for a short time, then go back and praise him calmly when he's not doing it. Also a good idea to take him to the vet to get his pockets picked, though . Unless it's a very ingrained habit it has a good chance of helping.
