Your problem is the use of \crlf to force line breaks because the commands
prevents
the indentation of the following line. The reason why the first line of each
block is
intended is the empty line before it which ends the previous paragraph.
To ensure your indentation setting is taken into account use \par (or a empty
line)
or the \\ command which does the same when used in the argument of \framed.
\starttext
\startframed[align=flushleft]
Line 1\crlf
\hskip 1em\relax Line 2\crlf
\hskip 2em\relax Line 3
\stopframed
\startframed[align=flushleft]
Line 1\par
\hskip 1em\relax Line 2\par
\hskip 2em\relax Line 3
\stopframed
\startframed[align=flushleft]
Line 1\\
\hskip 1em\relax Line 2\\
\hskip 2em\relax Line 3
\stopframed
\stoptext
