A new convenient method for describing flat convex compact sets and their polar sets is proposed. It generalizes the classical trigonometric functions $\sin$ and $\cos$. It is apparent that this method can be very useful for an explicit description of solutions of optimal control problems with two-dimensional control. Using this method a series of sub-Finsler problems with two-dimensional control lying in an arbitrary convex set $\Omega$ is investigated. Namely, problems on the Heisenberg, Engel, and Cartan groups and also Grushin's and Martinet's cases are considered. Particular attention is paid to the case when $\Omega$ is a convex polygon.
