I can't seem to do squats without feeling them more in my lower-back than my quads. I tried doing front squats, but that didn't help either. My gym doesn't have a trap bar...

Try some hack squats, should took off some pressure of your back.
Also, keep your abs tight. Usually those who experience back discomfort are not keeping their abdominals tight.

Use lighter weight and get the form down. THere reallly should be no reason an athletic individual cannot do squats...except lack of effort. If squats are a problem....how are deadlifts? And if your not doing deadlifts...thats your problem right there.....do a couple weeks on back extension to help strengthen lower back...then hit deadlift hard.
Hell...I hit squats, front squats and deadlifts on a mon/wed/fri basis and my back is fine.
