The best thing I've ever done is to not sit for as long as I used to. A convertible standing Desk allows me to switch and I do, all the time.
Iirc I read research showing that no physical activity can compensate for sitting. We need to sit less and move more often, something like every 20-30 min.
As for stretches I'd second physical therapy. For the pain I'd also recommend Feldenkrais as well as Yoga.
