Again bodybuilders tend to skip over good training practises for their Hamstrings, the basics like a decent hard workout, consistently performed every week - no excuses.

To be 100% honest most of your Hamstring training should come from your squatting to the ground and from deadlifts. These are the growth exercises - nothing else even comes close.

Stiff legged Deadlifts and Leg Curls have always factored into my training as well.

The first thing you are going to have to do is decide to train your hamstrings as a major muscle group and not some anxillary thing like forearms to be trained occassionally.

I would recommend straight after your Squats you move onto a Hamstring exercise, for this I strongly suggest Stiff Legged Deadlifts for 3 sets.

Then move onto your second quad exercise like leg press, then back into another Hamstring exercise, say Leg Curls.

Then maybe finish with Leg Extensions.

Integrating your Hamstrings into your leg workout reinforces that it is a major serious muscle group. Also training between compound leg movements will have them pre-exhausted and more prone to feel the exerices in the muscle, and thus making it easier for you to concentrate on using the Hamstring muscle better.

To tack the Hamstring workout onto the end of a Quad workout has always resulted in a disasterous Hammstring workout in my experience, most people just want out of the gym at the end of quads.
