COMMENTS
Permutations of [n] with exactly 2 descents and the descents are adjacent. Adjusting for initial index: row sums are A045618; first diagonal is A000217, the triangular numbers; 2nd diagonal is A051925; and 3rd diagonal is A001701, generalized Stirling numbers.
FORMULA
T(n,k) = k*C(n,k+1) - C(n,k) + 1
EXAMPLE
Triangle (beginning with n=3, k=1) is:

6 11 6
10 26 26 10
15 50 71 50 15
e.g. n=5, k = 2, T(5,2) = 11 = permutations of [5] with first run 2 long and last run 5-2-1 = 2 long, namely {14325, 15324, 15423, 24315, 25314, 25413, 34215, 35214, 35412, 45213, 45312}
