Try this:
Get on your hands and knees (all fours). Place a dumbbell behind your knee (in the bend of your knee), now raise your leg by squeezing your glute, keeping the knee bent until your quad is parallel to the floor and in line with your hip flexor. Slowly lower back down. Do 8 complete reps then raise the leg once more and do 8 pulses at the top. Switch legs, repeat. Do a couple of sets of these and you'll feel it. Be sure to really squeeze the glute on the move, don't swing your leg and don't use momentum to get that leg up!
Good old fashioned squats and lunges do wonders too. I try to work my butt in one way or another every other day, that seems to keep it from outgrowing my chair! Good luck!
