This gives all coefficients:
In[7]:= coeffs = Map[CoefficientList[#,x]&,K]
Out[7]=
{{a1, b1, c1}, {a2, b2, c2}, {a3, b3, c3}}
Transpose the resulting matrix to get the coefficients in the form you
indicated:
In[8]:= Transpose[coeffs]
Out[8]=
{{a1, a2, a3}, {b1, b2, b3}, {c1, c2, c3}}

I don't understand what you want to do, if you want to add all coefficients
for the same power of x you could do:
In[9]:= Map[Total,Transpose[coeffs]]
Out[9]=
{a1 + a2 + a3, b1 + b2 + b3, c1 + c2 + c3}
