The twisted torus knots and the primitive/Seifert knots both lie on a genus 2 Heegaard surface of $S^3$. In [5], J. Dean used the twisted torus knots to provide an abundance of examples of primitive/Seifert knots. Also he showed that not all twisted torus knots are primitive/Seifert knots. In this paper, we study the other inclusion. In other words, it shows that not all primitive/Seifert knots are twisted torus knot position. In fact, we give infinitely many primitive/Seifert knots that are not twisted torus knot position.
